any problems going to the gas pump in there xB. While pumping gas, the pump "clicks" over as if it was done pumping. anyone else experiencing this problem? it's about the 3rd time for me. Is it probably the gas station i am going too? i have gone to two of them so far and both do the samething. Someone told me it was air in my gas tank? i dunno. any help would help. thanks for listening!

it could be the way your pumping gas. If the pump handle sense any gas backlashing into the handle it supposed to shut off. this is usually dedicated to not having the neck of the handle in deep enough or at an incorrect angle. Ive had it happen once. But the wifes 96' Ford Escort was notorious for it. But, they already know they have a problem, they put a circle around it...

I havn't had any problems fueling up, except for this crummy Arco in Pico Rivera CA. . . I think it must have been the pump and not the car or me. . .

I was fillin up as usual, and am wondering why the hell it was taking so long; I almost never fill up more than 9 gallons, and then

KABLOOSH!!!!!!!!! FUEL sprayin everywhere. I don't know if I was more ____ed about soakin my clothes, or hurting the paint, or losing $2.40! I hate Arco, and they aren't even that cheap with the $.25 ATM fee they slap on. . . for me it's always Costco gas, it's decent quality and damn cheap.

thats happened to me a few times at differnt gas stations, never figured out what it was.

Everytime I fill up this occurrs. To remedy the situation, I pull the pump a little bit up and out, that seems to solve the problem. :D

Yeah 3xw is right, just leave the fuel handle out a little bit.

Or you can try using a lower hands free pump clip instead of pulling the handle all the way up.

I do have this problem, it's mainly because of the gas foaming up and coming up to the pump which trips the cut off.

If you spent some time under the back of your car you would notice that the fill pipe is very small causing reduced flow and back up. Also, some gas gives of more fumes than others causing a back up. The only remedy is to slow down the filling process.

I did a search on "no problems gas station" and came up with these...it's an old topic. Fortunately, my XB never had the prob.

happens to me all the time, it stops as if it was filled then I keep pumping and it stops again...have no clue why it does this

ive found that if i turn the handle a little it doesnt click

Oh man, I remember these topics, last year around this time too. I think about half of scionlife had problems with clicking. :shock:

mine does it all the time to remedy it i just turn the handle to the side facing front with the handle pointing to the rear and i hold it . any other way and it clicks always

its happened to me once, so i dont consider it a problem, but hopefully i didnt jinx myself........but when it happened to me, i just pulled it out and put it back in, prob solved........

yea i remember these topics too... i learned from a previous thread that if you turn the handle upside down, problem solved. for me, it happens EVERY time at arco stations.. in fact, it happens ONLY at arco stations. :?

yeah i wouldnt mind pumpin gas easy ___ job

I put gas in my new xA yesterday for the first time. It was down to 1/2 tank and I was passing the station with the cheapest gas around. When I put the nozzle into the tank fill point I found that there was very little free space remaining. When I started the fill at the lowest automatic shut off point there was a continuous sound of air escaping. So I filled the tank slowly and had no spills. Thanks to all for the warning about the fill rate limitation.

states that know how to create jobs. I wish more would do that.

oh california does just by having too many smog techs and smogging too god damned much making it nearly impossible to keep a car longer than 8 years withou expensive problems.
