Gas fill up

Chef kid · 10-28-2013, 08:39 PM

The last two times I have filled up, this has happened. The pump shuts off when the tank is full. I pull the gas pump out and I can hear the gas gurgling as it goes down. Last for 5 to 10 seconds. Any ideas what is going on here?

I had a similar problem with a girl once.

Nice!

I just filled up tonight and I heard the same thing. I assume it is just burping like I do when I throw down 12oz of cold beer.

Oh hell yeah.....now when are those ribs gonna be ready!!!

Never really paid any attention...mine attention mostly went to the 50+ bucks I fork out each time I'm at the pump...so glad I have a civic as a beater

I think I read here that our gas tanks have two compartments and I've always assumed that it's gas flowing to the second compartment so I always let it finish and then top it off with just a little more fuel.

I'm inclined to believe something like this, the other day I was heading to track, got to gas station near track, figured 20 bucks would top it off or close. Well at 17 dollars the thing clicked. I got almost another ~gallon in the tank and ended at 20 bucks.

^^^ Same thing here. I know on the first click that she's going to take more second time around.

Curious. Never had a car do this.

Lately when I use the latch to hold the lever in place it never seems to stay in place. At first I thought it was the pump but its been at every pump I go to now. Any ideas? And I know its not full.
