Problems filling tank with gas

[denverpete]

There's a TSB out there and I don't think it's for the "flapper". Basically, the tube to the tank gets kinked so fuel doesn't flow as quickly to the tank as it should. If you fill too quickly the kink causes the gas to back up and shuts off the pump.

Unfortunately, this problem isn't recall related so it won't be fixed free of charge out of warranty.

Since I also have this problem, I've found that not inserting the nozzle as far in and holding it "up" seems to help. You still can't pump at full speed nor leave it pumping without your hand on the handle. Naturally, the "half in nozzle" approach won't work for some of you in California or others with vapor capturing nozzles....
