High temperature today at my house: 75F High temperature today at Trenton, NJ: 34F 'nuff said! :) |
lol ... true true, but they have this new thing here, and its not the Saprano's! Its called heat! Works pretty darn good too, this from some one who wears shorts and a t shirt year round! :wink:

**** Keep the nozzle out by half *******
It happens when you stick the nozzle in too far and there is air in the gas line coming from the pump. Some how leaving the nozzled half way out cures the problem. |

filled up for the 2nd time today.. didn't shove the nozzle all the way down, left room to "breathe".. clicked on the latch for hands free filling up.. and nothing wrong at all..
might try that, leave some room for it to breathe.. |
I get sooooo ____ed with this problem at times. I can NEVER hold the damn trigger at 100%. I've even had it a couple times where the gas come out sooooo damn slow. I figured it was the pipings shape that causes this ----> the gas flows to fast and if the gas is not moving down fast enough the pump thinks the tank is full causing that annoying cut-off / bang :evil:
|
Wifes tC does it too. They should do a recall on this issue. We shouldn't have to turn the nozzle upside down to fill up the tank. What a PITA.
|
I've noticed this problem with my xA and it was frustrating me for awhile. I think I found somewhat of a solution, at least for me. I lift the pump upwards, while the nozzle is in the tank, and begin pumping and lock it. Then I just set the pump down slowly, and it keeps going with the lock on. I don't know why it does this, but it works for me. Anyone else try this?
|
It always bugs me when this happens.
But keep in mind that it's not just Scion, and it's not just Toyota. Happens across the board. Had it personally happen to me on GM, Ford and Volkswagen cars. There might be something (charcoal canister? I doubt it) that will make it happen less, but probably nothing that would completely "fix" it. |
I've filled up the tank on my tC 8+ times in the two months I have had the car. I go to the same station and have only had that problem occur once. It was very annoying but hopefully, it won't happen again. -Jayme

its definitly not the gas stations, im in ny and it always happens to me no matter where i go to fill up. gonna give the dealer and call and see what they say
|
Yeah, it happens with the Box no matter where I go. And I never had any problems with my Supra or any other car for that matter.
Well the old Bug was a bit of a pain but for different reasons. |

It seems that the way our filler necks are designed it a sharp angle that the neck takes that slows the filling of the tank, turning the nozzel around seems to align the gas flow with the fuel hose filler pipe, case solved!

This has happened to me twice so far. Guess I'll try keeping the nozzle halfway out next time.
Has anybody gotten word from Scion HQ or a dealer about this? |

Its really inconvenience for me struggling with nozzle every time I pump gas.
