Re: Fuel filling Problem

I have the same problem. Nearest I can tell, it's the new style of gas pumps that are the problem. when I go to a old non converted station my truck fills up fine. But the new ones with the emissions cap thingy don't work well.

Re: Fuel filling Problem

The auto shut-off doesn't work on the new style pumps with my truck and I usually have to monkey around with it a while to get it to stay on. Some pumps are worse than others but I can always get it to fill.

Re: Fuel filling Problem

I here ya mine will fill however it takes along time that why I only put in 20-30 bucks at a time. I'm going to recheck the vent hoses just to make sure no blockage.
