Some Ram 1500 Classic owners report experiencing issues with the fuel pump cutting off prematurely while refueling. These owners have found that adjusting the angle of the pump nozzle can provide a temporary workaround, but addressing worn or clogged components is essential for a lasting fix. Additionally, some have noted that slowing down the speed at which fuel enters the tank, particularly after the first click-off, can help prevent cutoffs caused by high pump volumes or faulty trip mechanisms. The presence of a clogged charcoal filter in the fuel fill neck may also contribute to frequent pump cutoffs. Furthermore, adjusting the angle of the filler tube as fuel enters the tank can help prevent the pump from shutting off due to vapor triggers. In some cases, dealerships have been known to replace components related to this issue, particularly in regions with stringent emissions laws. If these problems persist, it is advisable for owners to consult with a dealership or qualified mechanic for a proper diagnosis and resolution.
