Some Chevrolet Corvette owners report experiencing frequent shut-off issues while refueling, often attributed to vent valve failure, which can prevent the canister from completing the purge cycle and cause back pressure that triggers the pump to click off. Additionally, some owners find that using proper refueling techniques, such as turning the nozzle sideways or keeping it straight, can help mitigate interruptions during the process. Inspecting the fuel filler neck, gas tank, and rubber hoses for damage, as well as ensuring the breather hose is clear, may also prevent back pressure issues. Furthermore, a damaged fuel pump could contribute to these intermittent shut-offs, necessitating a replacement to resolve the problem. Regular maintenance and attentive refueling practices are recommended to enhance the refueling experience, and if issues persist, consulting a dealership or qualified mechanic may be necessary for effective diagnosis and resolution.
