    Fuel filling problem

    2006 CVPI. Well maintained, great shape. Last week I added 5 gals of gas from a container as it was low. The next time at fuel fill up, it constantly clicked off taking 15 minutes for 18 gals. Next fill up, same deal. Any thoughts?

    Re: Fuel filling problem

    There's something obstructing the ventline in the filler tube. Blow it it out with some compressed air if you are able too.
    I had the same problem on my mustang and the way I got away with it was easy. Try this next time you fill up, once you start pumping gas, slowly turn the nozzle upside down where the hose on the filler nozzle is facing upward. That should solve the problem with the nozzle shutting off for the time being until you can get the ventline cleared out or replaced.

    Oh!! BTW, welcome to the forums. Pics of the ride when you get a chance.....we like p71 pics.

    Good Luck on getting it fixed, i agree with Bigvin, use some compressed air if possible.
