If you're filling them from the same place, consider there may be water in the gas.burnt said:Truck won't take gas, only at a veeerry slow trickle. 2010 GMC Sierra.
My son's Dodge Ram did the same thing for a while but then it started taking fuel like normal again. Which is a bad thing for a Dodge Ram Hemi. . .
Anybody else ever have trouble like this?
burnt said:gcreek, problem is that it needs it but won't take it. I must not be very clear, either that or it's so cold out west that it's slowed your uptake a bit! :wink: Well you asked for it . . .
Traveler, we don't fill up at the same place since he is not in this area much.
I tried putting the shop vac onto the fill spout a bit at a time to see if it would maybe clear the vent but it made no difference. Might have to break down and take it in for the repair because it sure sucks standing there for 15 minutes to get a half or 3/4 tank and still spilling a lot on the ground cuz it blows back out.![]()
vehicles may experience premature automatic shut off of the fuel fill nozzle, or repeated fuel shut off at the fuel station delivery nozzle. Vehicles operated in muddy or dusty environments can encounter a dirt-clogged carbon canister system. More specifically, the carbon canister's vent, fresh-air box, and filters, clogged with dirt from operating in such environments.

Burnt, don't do that!! If you suck fumes out of the gas tank, they are passed by the vacuum motor. If the vacuum storage area get full of fumes, the damn things will explode from the sparks on the armature. Don't ask me how I know!!
