Tank hard to fill, There is a release of air when I open the gas cap, I can pump about a gallon, after which I have to wait for the fuel to enter the tank. I can hear a gurgling sound as the fuel enters the tank. It takes quite a bit of time to fill up. Repairman said he encounter problem before, and had to replace the fuel tank, but that it could be the charcoal filter.
Fuel tank won't allow me to pump gas. It keeps causing pump to shut off rrpeatedly.
I have the same issue. The fuel nozzle shuts off repeatedly and takes quite some time to get a full tank. When I first open the gas cap, there is a noticible audible let off of pressure. When I stop fueling, I still hear 'gurgling' for several seconds in the tank. I live on a dusty rock road, but I've had this Jeep since it was new and never before had this problem until the past month.
I recently had my check engine light come on, it was code P0441 (evaporative emission system) and just after that my gas tank builds up pressure. like when i take the cap off to fill up and it just releases a bunch of air, and it takes for ever to fill up, it wont let the gas flow in basically. must be something to do with the venting of the tank... any help would be greatly appreciated.
Fuel Fill Nozzle Shuts Off Repeatedly While Fueling
About a year ago, we began to have problems with filling our gas tank. It constantly shuts off. We took it to our mechanic who referred us to our dealer. We are waiting until our dealer calls us to replace a recalled part regarding the ignition, to have it diagnosed. I was wondering if this is a problem widespread enough, they should have to replace/fix the problem free of charge.
Hard to fill fuel. Keeps shutting off. Gas smell for a day or longer.
Pump shuts off after approximately 1 gallon of gas into tank and tank is hard to fill after.
when putting in gas it shuts off repeatedly before its full
The pump shuts off nearly immediately, even on a completely empty tank. I've tried slower fill speeds but the only thing that seems to work is holding the pump at its slowest possible fill rate. It was happening intermittently but now happens every time. I have not yet had it checked out.
Last two times filling up, the pump stops before the tank is full (3/4). No other issues noticed.
Tank only fills 3/4 and will overflow if you try to put more in rught away. If you give it spurts it will take it, but takes forever.
Gas flow stops repeatedly
Gas tank won't fill all the way I need help
I have a 2006 TJ. problem is same as many others here....problem was intermittent, then it was more often than not I had to use a cap (from washer fluid bottle) under the trigger to get gas to flow, now I have to hold the nozzle handle and allow the gas to trickle in. A REAL problem when tank is low and I have to stand and hold it while it fills.
Gas pump keeps shutting off when I put gas in my jeep what is the cause
Pump shuts off repetedly....warning "check gas cap"....gas cap repaced 3 times but problem comes back
tank won't fill without shutting off. Takes several attempts to fill tank
Hard to put gas in my tank
