What to do when gas tank stops filling?
Angling the fuel nozzle into the fill pipe differently usually does the trick. i.e. Holding the handle up instead of letting it hang down, or rotate it a bit in the fill tube mouth. Also, make sure the compression cuff around the nozzle is fully in contact with the mouth of the fill tube, and compressed against it.
Why does my Car start after I fill up the gas tank?
When I fill the gas tank up, the car has trouble starting. It happened several times already. I would then try for a while until I start it up again. After that, the car would run fine until I fill the gas tank up the following time. I went to a shop for this but they couldn’t fix it. Do you have any idea why this happens? Thank you.

How can I tell when my gas tank is full?
Knowing the tank can’t possibly be full, I keep working on filling the tank, at a rate of less than a gallon per click, until 10-12 (possibly more) gallons later I see gas come out of the tube. (There’s no other way to work out when my tank’s full as I have no way of determining how much fuel is in the tank to begin with.)

Why does fuel pump shut off when filling up?
This is a one way valve that connects the fuel tank to the EVAP Canister. It’s purpose is to send vapors to the canister instead of the air when you are refueling. If it’s plugged up it will not allow vapors to escape fast enough and cause the pump to shut off.
Why does the gas nozzle shut off when the gas tank is full?
This causes the spray from the nozzle to no longer be uniform (which is how we design our fuel fillers), causing turbulence in the fuel filler pipe, bouncing back, and momentarily blocking the venturi on the fuel nozzle. Also, one correction to Torch’s article is how a gas nozzle actually shuts off when the fuel tank is full.

How many gallons does it take to fill up a gas tank?

Why does the gas pump keep stopping when my tank isn’t?
If it is just one pump that keeps stopping while all others work fine, there are several possibilities. The shut-off mechanism is hypersensitive. It barely stays open, getting shut by the tiniest of perturbations. The pump delivers too fast, causing splashing in the filler neck or in the tank. The fuel is foamy.
Why is there a hole in my gas tank?
The hole can be blocked as the level of gas in your tank rises, or even if a little splash-back occurs. The liquid blocks the airflow, the pump stops, the obstruction is cleared, and the pump will resume once you depress the handle again. It’s likely some cars are more prone to this than others.
