Anyone have any problems with the XA shutting off the fuel nozzle at the pump?

The fuel nozzle auto shut-off keeps activating thinking the tank is full, even when empty. I think I read something about this being a prob w/ XA. Any way to resolve?

 

this is a problem i have with my xb all the time. I belive it has to do with the angle of the filler neck on the fuel tank.

not really much you can do other than ease back on the trigger.

 

same problem here once every 2 weeks when i fill up, best thing to do is either try to ease back on the trigger as Alltattood says, or try to hold the nozzle as verticle as possible, that seems to help, depending on gas stations / nozzles..

 

Me too. Seems some stations the pump pumps faster, so I use the second lock on the pump handle vs the first one, so it pumps hands free til full.

 

Always pump on the first notch. It serves 2 purposes.
More acurate measure and won't turn off till filled. So what if it takes a few second longer to fill?
The connecting filler hose is small so the fuel will only go in slowly anyhow.

 

Randode came up with an awesome work-around quite a while back. Put the nozzle in up-side down. It works like a charm.

 

good idea

 

..you also agitate the gas less, get less vapor and more liquid fuel this way as well

 

I also catch others eyeballin how little fuel it takes to fill the xB. Then they ask the mpgs and say "must be nice" and I say "sure is".
