Anyone else have to invent new curse words at every fill up?

[18ram18]

My 2018 has the same problem. Nozzle does not get stuck.....just a pain to fill.

I had an '09 ram and now an '18...seems like every single time I fuel up I can barely ever get the dang thing to stay on after putting the fuel nozzle in. Squeeze...three seconds of fueling...click!....*insert new foul word here* and repeat. The 09 wasn't so bad but my new truck drives me nuts at gas stations lol. I'm guessing its a venting issue but not sure. Anyone else experience this??

When that happens to me I say M*F***** and it seems to fix it.

Those rubber boots are to help seal in the fuel vapors.

I have noticed that sticking the fuel nozzle doesn't seem as easy as it should... but I never have it click off after a few seconds.

In a few years we'll just be plugging our trucks into a outlet and this won't be such a big problem

Only if we as taxpayers heavily subsidize it.

I had this pop up on my 2017. I fixed it myself after the dealer had a week and replaced the gas tank with no fix in sight. Took 15 minutes. The vent in the filler neck is probably plugged up if this is doing it all of the time at any gas pump. Check my thread:

I've seen this issue with my 2013, I'm in CA .It happens rarely and only on a couple specific gas pumps on specific chevron gas station.

I've tried all sorts of ways to put in the nossle but it would shut off each time.. I think it's an issue with some of the gas pumps. It feels that when other pumps stop, it sends a bump to my nossle via hose and then my nossle stops


I've complained to attendant a few times but they don't care and say never heard that before

My 2011 did this, but once they did the fuel tank strap recall, which incolves dropping the tank it worked perfect. May be a poor factory installation.

I have this issue on my 2018 from time to time. It’s mostly the fact that the nozzle is not fully inserted or the angle is slightly off. I change the angle or reseat it and the issue resolves. I always use the detent on the handle and let it go until it’s full, then top it off once or twice.

Hey, I'm in Back@ss country GA myself...LMAO....
I usually can't get the nozzle all the way in because of the angle of my filler neck is more up than out..if that makes sense? I usually use QT gas stations and a few others and never had a issues filling the rig up.
Except my wallet was feeling the pain...lol.

I had the same problem for the longest time right up until the tank was dropped for the strap recall. Since that time the problem has not recurred. (Watch for it to return tomorrow!). I'm convinced that the only reasonable explanation is that the vent hose had a minor restriction of some sort, a kink or dirt that made the system super sensitive, and that the vent hose was properly seated when reinstalled so as to eliminate the problem. Anyone suffering from this problem should stick their face under there and check for a bent, kinked vent hose.

I only had that problem once at one pump at a Quick Trip gas station.

 

[DodgeDude99]

Only time I have that issue is when I use the semi-tractor pumps at the truck stops, those fill the tank in about 45 seconds or less

 

[roadrnnr]

never had an issue with my 2011

 

[pjs386]

My '14 doesn't show this at all. It will shut off when there's still about 2 gallons space left to top off but that's the only shufoff ever.

Y'all must live in California or one of the other "Nanny States" with the ****** up fuel nozzels.

This. I also notice it more at certain station than others. One local Chevron is almost unusable cause it won’t go more than 5 seconds before clicking off. A local Shell station its smooth as butter. The swearing remains though regardless as I watch the dollar signs roll higher and higher on the pump though.

I'm in honkyville, Ga not California but that's probably it honestly. All the newer pumps seem to have more rubber guards and huge springs on the spouts. I don't see the benefits at all even though there's probably some reason for it.

I live in New York State where everything is illegal. I have not experienced this as a problem, either on my 2010 or 2014 Ram 1500.

I have new 2018 1500 ecodiesel and it seems that my mpg has been going down since I bought it. My routes and usage hasn’t changed. I would of thought that when I got a little wear on the tires my mpg would improve. Any thoughts?

 

[likes2build]

Really looks like it's more of a 2018 thing. Maybe they will have a fix for our trucks?
