****UPDATE****

Bad sensor in tank and wasn't registering all the gas in the tank.


Is anyone else having problems filling the gas tank? We have tried several stations and can't seem to get more than 8 or so gallons in the tank, which is
just a bit over half a tank. If we try any more the pump stops and wont pump any more gas.

 

go to the dealer, something wrong with your filler neck.

 

I have this issue too. Just a poor design on the tank IMO. The gas cannot flow down onto the tank fast enough and pushes back against the pump. I have to spend a good 5 minutes or so fulling the tank up completely.

 

WOOOOOOOW!

That is absolutley pitiful.

 

get it checked out!

 

I have this problem on my VIII, just gotta hold the pull the handle just the tiniest bit and slowly fill the tank lol. It only does it on mine every now and then.

 

Try putting the nozzle about half way in, so a little air is able to go in and out of the tank. I had that same problem in my old car and that seemed to fix it.

 

 

i have no problem filling mine either on my evo, but sunoco stations dont fill my 07 4 runner that easily. And thats the 6th year of the same design truck.

 

my old showcar did this when i installed a motorcycle gascap and widebody...


flip the filler nozzle 180 degrees upside down. so it looks completely upside down, that worked for me! And before that i juts got a long funnel i kept in the car and filled that!

 

haven't had this problem yet on my X, but now i'll know whats going on if it does.

 

got to love mitsu

Love 76.

 

evap canister problem prolly

 

This happened to me out west when I had to use those retarded Cali accordian pump handles to fill up my car, but its because you have to jam the shat out of handle into your tank.

Never happened back here on the eastern half of the country where they don't have those handles.
