fuel filling

[colport833]

Hi Folks...not sure which area to post this....so here it goes...my 2013 CC doesn't want to be fueled up...couple days ago it was time to add some fuel..had 1/4 tank according to gauge..this was its first fill by me..the very first was by the dealer..right full..I stuck nozzle in tank and it kept kicking off..turned it one way and the other..kept doing it..pulled it out half way kicked off..was only able to squeeze $40 in before I got frustrated and tired of trickling fuel in. Again today that $40 in fuel was gone and I again tried to fill it with fuel, different station 150km away, different company..same thing..kicked off...should fill tube have a cap..did dealer possibly knock it of..blocking tube? any ideas?...taking a trip tomorrow to dealer to see what they say or can do..no fun, and not right standing in cold and wind trying to fill with fuel...will update with answer/results...I am aware a TSB was out for similar issue but not a 2013 with 986kms on it

Please let me know what they say.
Mine usually clicks off 3-4 times before I get it adjusted just right to get it to keep going.

Odd....my 13 has no problem running off $80-100 worth of gas before the pump kicks off!

Same as my '14 clicks off just before $100

I had the same issue with my 12. It would click several times before I was able to get the tank completely full.

I was able to stop this by not pushing the nozzle too far down the filler neck. Took a couple attempts before I figured it out. No issues since. Just gotta find that "sweet spot" when you are fueling.

2012 CC Filled up today cost $103 for 77L of 89 octane ...

To OP , that's odd your not getting fuel in properly.

Sounds like the tank relief valve is not venting the pressure properly, do you here air coming back up through the neck? I have not had any problems with my 2012 but I drive a 2007 chevy 2500 for work and it's 95% off road and takes me about five minutes just to get the first 7 gallons in due to dirt and dust clogging the valve up.

Ok as promised an update..sort of...I dropped my princess off at school before heading to dealership..thought, hmm lets try this gas station near school...put nozzle in...right in..trigger deep...squeezed of $20 in the blink of an eye..$20 is all I had after princess held out her hand for lunch money I thought what did I do, or what was different...the nozzle did not have a frigging square piece on top..the other two had this little square plastic thingy that advertises ..2 candy bars $1.00 or some promo...it was preventing me from getting nozzle in hole far enough..yah yah here come the jokes..now I have to remember where gas stations are without plastic square things or carry some pliers and tear them off before filling with fuel...
