Can't fill my gas tank up???

[Paulie B]

Maybe someone here can help me with this bizarre problem. For the last couple weeks everytime I go to fill up the tank in my work van the stupid gas pump constantly shuts off. I've tried pulling the nozzle out some, turning it sideways, nothing. The only way to put gas in is to stand there and let it trickle in.

I'M GETTING IRRITATED WITH THIS

Anyone have some ideas on whats goin on?

See if the filler neck hose is pinched, crimped...of if an enemy stuffed a banana down there...LOL.

Check to see if the breather hose and valve are plugged.
My loader at work used to do this and the breather hose was full of mud and could not breath at all, so it took me 25 minutes to trickle 425 liters in the damn machine everyday, get payed to stand there but still.
Put a new hose on and WALLA...Now it takes 7 minutes to fill up.
Check it out!

OK fellas I'm headin out to check. Thanks for the advise!

yup vent , or filler neck. but the neck runs from the filer to tank and is pretty tough. dont see how i could get pinched.

I know this has nothing to do with a vent thing but are you sure the pumps are not limited to shut off?

Seriously there are a couple places around here that you can't pump more than so much gas and it wont let you buy anymore....

I have NO clue why they are doing it.. lol

[Wacko Jacko]

they stop at $75 here.... which is plenty to fill up most gas trucks... or WAS i should say.. not anymore
hes talkiun about something totally different though

I hear you Paulie, my silverado does the same thing, it doesnt always happen, but it happens more times then not. The truck is brand new so i know the breather cant be clogged yet, i am guessing just a shitty design in the flowage or something, but it pisses me off, i cant even walk away from it, even if i set it to the slowest pumping setting, pisses me off.

I can't fill mine up either but thats just because gas is $4+ a f***ing gallon. I'm moving to venezuela its 12 cents a gallon there and im sure theres alot of riding to do there lol Who's coming with me?!?!?!

[fastman69]

Have you ever thought that maybe the gas station think you can't afford the gas so they let you only put a little in a time? That way you shouldn't go over how much you are able to buy that day?
