Cant pump gas...

[stewgst]

My problem is when i try to pump gas the pump would think my tank is full and stop pumping. It gets really annoying spending 20 min pumping gas, . This happens at every pump that i go to. What could cause this?

I never had the problem in my dsm but in a ranger...Check the filler neck to see if its twisted or there may be something inside blocking it.

Cool, thanks man. I'll check it out tomorrow.

On the top of the fuel tank, there is a air siphon line that connects to the fuel filler area.

You will notice 2 holes once you open up the gas tank cap. There is one large opening where you place the filler nozzle and another small hole next to it. That small hole is the siphon that allows air to exit the tank while you are pumping fuel. This prevents air bubbles from forming while you are pumping gas into the tank. Make sure that line is not somehow clogged.

Weird thing happened today. I went to go fill up this morning and had no problems. I dunno, maybe my car is possesed, . I think it has a mind of its own.
As for that second small opening that jeffgst was talking about, is it located above where you put the fuel nozzle in?

when u pump ## gas, try turning the nozzle upside down, i know it might sound wierd but give it a shot anyways

Ill try that also.

Mine did that. I found that if I stick the nozzle in and then pull up on the handle so that it's against the bottom of the gas fill tube, it fills fine.
