You guys haven't been under your cars much ehhh??? I was under my Xa today looking at the rear suspension and noticed the fuel tank vent pipe.... No, wait a minute.... that 1" pipe is the FILL pipe!!!! Now wonder it occasionally gags on the fuel.....

I've filled mine up 5 times and It dosen't happen with mine :D . I guess I'm just lucky :twisted: :twisted:

 

damn dude

i only have 105 miles!!!

 

I have about 7 times more than that now :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

 

It depends on the quality of gas and the temp of the day. The higher the temp-the more fumes, the lower quality gas generally makes more fumes. If your Karma sucks that day you may be trying to pump in gas faster than the vent and fill tube can handle it will click off. I've only had this problem a couple of times and after looking at the fill pipe size it's easy to see why. Filling at half throttle worked for me.

I had the problem... but the little old asian guy at my gas station told me to turn the nozzle sideways and it won't shut off... Since i've been filling with the nozzle sideways (on stations that it clicks) I havent had a problem filling at all... sounds odd but it worked for me :D

 

lmao where i live 99% of the gass pumps dont even have the lever so you can set it and forget it. you guys are lucky

 

Lucky is living in NJ, where fuel is cheap, and they pump it for you. Ill say no thanks when ( if ) my RS1 gets here, and pump it myself.

 

Still works fine for me.....

 

Nope, haven't had that problem.....................yet.

 

Filled mine up for the first time yesterday and had the same freekin problem. just kept clicking and clicking and clicking....half way through my clicking a car pulls in at the pump behind me and starts to fill up. The fine A$$ woman gets done filling her tank up... what am I freakin doing???? Click Click Click Click Click Click Click Click Click. Next time I am going to count how many clicks i can do. Pumping gas sucks.

I wonder why I don't have this problem................................... :?:

 

It is so embarrassing to be filling up your new car and have gas problems. People look at me like "woman, you aren't supposed to top it off!" I worked at a gas station. I know that. But I swear, I ain't topping it off! Everyone's already looking at your car and when you are having trouble with it, it's humiliating.

 

Still working for me and I go to many types of stations.

I've been to gasstations all over NY,NJ and PA and I haven't had that problem at all. I guess they fixed that problem before I got mine :D

 

Depressurization takes 3 Seconds not 3 minutes.

Just stand there and pump the gas like the old folks used to, it won't kill you!

yea i called the dealership and they said because im driving my car too much and my gas level is too low. so i need to have a chat with those punks, yelling at me and saying i drive my car bad! it was there fault the whole time!

 

yeah, same problem, I figured out that to stop this, all you need to do it set the auto pump on the first latch, not the one that will hold it down all the way, THEN you go and push the grade that you want, and it won't stop. Usually takes a bit longer to fill up, But atleast, I don't need to stay there and hold it..

Hope this helps

 

good thing mines electric

 

i know this is kind of late but I had a a Dodge Shadow that did the same thing. If you slide the nozzle out just a little it will run with no problems. I think the problem is a bend or something in the filler neck and when the pump is all the way in it splashes back and sets off the pump cut off.

Just my idea, I dunno if my XB will do it. It's not ehre yet.
