About 2 weeks ago I go to fill up my tank, first time its pretty cold, like 14 degrees or so. I Go to get gas, set the pump on automatic and it keeps clicking off like gas is hitting the filler so I get pissed and say screw it, must be the pump and just do half a tank. next time a few days later its still cold, and the pump does the same thing so I'm thinking, what did i do now. I was no where near the filler neck, it couldnt be crushed. By this I mean I can put in gas, but very slowly otherwise it backs up to the spout. So it gets warmer, and boom, it works perfectly. Then today, its real cold so I go to get gas and it starts acting up again. It must take twice as long to fill up because I cant get the full flow out of the pump, maybe half a squeeze. So I listen and it sounds like gas is backing up in the filler neck. This is impossible, no way it can shrink this much. Anyone else have this goofy issue?

 

yeah some pumps do it and some dont! just pull nozzle back out a little bit....

 

trust me i tried it all, still backs up.

 

Shut your engine off.

 

DOH! you might be right. Wondering why this car does it, every other car ive owned did not have this problem.

 

My evo does this even in 80 degree weather.

 

Funny, i just went through this yesterday. Clicked it self off about 5 times before i figured it out. I had to pull the pump out about half way and let it just barely sit in the filler neck. Then it worked just fine. Strange? Temp was about 3 degrees.
