Gas Tank Problem

sixstang · March 6th, 2011, 05:58 PM

Just filled up at the gas station, but my tank was just spewing gas out. No leaks or anything, just coming straight out of the top. The gauge read low fuel, and by the time i got done it was about halfway full, so there must have really been only about a gallon left when I started filling up. What could be the problem?

user malfunction?

it's coming out of the spot you put the nozzle in at?

Yeah, right at the top of the tank, could it just be a problem with the gas pump, maybe its filling up too fast?

The spot you put the nozzle isn't at the top of the tank

Is it coming out of the tank itself or by the gas door?

Yeah, there are no leaks in the tank itself so its not coming out of the top of the tank, out of the gas door instead.

Well I'd say either your tank was full and the nozzle was messed up or the anti siphon / fuel cutoff part at the end of the filler neck in the tank for some reason got stuck closed.

I wouldn't worry about it much until you try a different pump.

Alright, so there isn't something wrong with the fuel pump, fuel lines, nothing like that?

Oh and on our year stangs you might need to replace the hose going from the cap to the tank.. They go bad.

Im braindead right now

redv6er · March 7th, 2011, 12:24 PM

the gas pump is the problem.

It didn't cut itself off, and is usually the result of poor gas station matinence.

BabyStang12 · March 7th, 2011, 06:08 PM

yeah.. replacing the hose is a good idea though. saves you alot of trouble down the road..mine busted & leaked a FULL tank of gas all over the gas station and the fire department had to come save the day lmao
