Recall? Is this a MASS problem? Because I haven't heard about it.

where do you guys get the info on TSBs? the only ones I can find are for the 2004 xb (no 2005 data out yet).

The 2004 data doesn't seem to mention that particular problem unless that's what
"Engine Controls - O2 Sensor Threshold Monitor Values" meant.

I got the data from alldata.com (or autozones for professionals site which goes to the same place):

Yea, my 2005 xB has been doing that. It acts like its full right when i first start pumping gas. I gotta play around with it until it gets into a more comfortable position or something. I haven't had that problem until it started getting cold.

Damn, I thought it was the pump itself. Good thing I read these forums

I found if I just pulled the nozzle out a little bit it was fine.

Yea, there is a Technical Service Bulletin out about that same thing. I have the numbers at home. It covers all years and is free to fix from the dealer if you complain. If I'm not mistaken, it was fixed on a production run after a certain VIN number. Your dealer will know.

So what are they really replacing? is it a new fill tube? bc I may not worry with this, I have delt with this problem from the start, April 7, 04' and 32,000 miles on it so I have pumped a lot of gas and have learned to deal with it. I s it a warrenty thing or is it an anytine I get up there thing?

I would have it done before warrenty runs out to be safe.

they replace the tank and the filler tube. My guess is the tube goes in a new place in the tank to make it flow right, so they have to replace both. It's under warranty. (free to you)
