Can’t fill gas tank

[mikeru]

Turning a gas pump nozzle upside down (holding the handle up) is a common, though unofficial, trick to prevent the pump from constantly clicking off early due to premature vapor lock or fuel splashing back. This method reorients the nozzle's internal sensor, allowing for consistent fuel flow, particularly in vehicles with sharp, restrictive filler necks.

This will overflow the tank and it will keep running if you don't watch it to click it off. Beware, use at your own risk.

I’m not sure I’d advise doing this. Many gas stations even have warnings specifically saying not to do this. As you said, it defeats the auto shut-off and can allow gas to continue flowing when the tank is full. For people who are attentive enough and stand right next to the nozzle it’s less of an issue. But I’ve seen plenty of people who are off cleaning their windshield or grabbing trash from inside their vehicle while filling. It’s not just an environmental issue, it’s also a safety issue.

I’ll jump down off my soap box now

I 100% agree, more of a 3am I'm in butte Montana and the truck won't take gas and it's 40 below. Type move. However it does work. But not an everyday occurrence or it shouldn't be

I had the same problem filling my tank on my 2017 Ram 1500 but my son works for a major parts distributor I bought a new tank and filler neck through him Ram Dealer Parts that saved me a lot of money called a friend of mine took it to his shop and had him install it for me with the parts and labor it was $1300.00 and it’s been fine after the install
