Problem at the Gas pump
#101
I'm glad I don't have this problem, I think it may have happened two or three times but im sure it was the pump at fault. not as bad as my CRX sometimes tricked some pumps into overfilling my the tank until the gas sprayed out all over the place. talk about lookin like a retard

Glad to find this thread, thought I was moron with new tC and just had forgotten how to pump gas or something retatted like that. Will try the suggestions listed here in the hope that I won't have to have the tank and neck replaced!

Anyway, my friend was able to help me pump at Citgo (he was like "just put it in more" and then made it work). So I thought i was just clueless. Glad to see this problem is beyond just me.

I just had the TSB for the gas tank done and it does fill so much better! Which is good in the middle of winter. But i have noticed a big drop in mpg. First tank full after the TSB went down to 22 mpg. Has anyone else had this issue? 22 seems damn low for such a new vehicle.

My mileage from day one with the tC was about 29 on the highway and about 20 in town. Not very good for a new 4 cylinder... but it does move quickly so I'll take the lower mileage :-)

Although you'll still need to stand at the pump (the law in most states anyway), you can pull the nozzle back about half way to the point the air holes are just inside the restrictor door and pump at full speed. It's not like we are filling a 40 gallon tank for 10 minutes just about 45 seconds to a minute from empty.

I just stand there anyway and pump it while holding the handle. I never learned any differently. Doesn't take too long at all, and I like to be active in ALL parts and going on's concerning my tC, including pumping. I like pumping.
