GypsyG Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Halfway through a 1000 mile trip I started having problems getting fuel into the tank. Each time I tried to fill up, the pump acted like I didn't have the nozel inserted & wouldn't click on to begin fueling. At one point I was able to twist the pump handle at a weird angle to get some fuel into the tank but could not get the tank full so had to keep stopping to add more. Any clues about what might casue this all of a sudden? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMoon Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 No idea if it's the same, but my 2007 GT500 had a similar problem, and it turned out to be a delamination "bubble" in the inlet pipe, just past where the fuel pump nozzle ended. They replaced it and the problem went away! It could also be a bad evap valve, allowing too much pressure to build up in the fuel tank and inlet pipe. A good dealer should be able to diagnose the issue. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had no fueling issues on the 100 mile trip back home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinsletshawnA Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 A sag in the fuel tank vent hose can cause that. I removed the top end of my fuel tank vent hose from the fitting near the fuel cap opening and was able to pull the sag out and cut 5" off the simcasts hose. That fixed the problem.
