Can't fill up gas tank all the way
I've been having this problem off and on all summer. There is a gas station near me that I always go to because it has 93 octane, however for some reason I'm not always able to fill up my tank. I usually put in about 10.5 gallons when I'm almost on E, but when this happens I can only put in 9-9.5. At that point the pump will click off and I can't even over-pump very far. I can come back later to the same place and finish filling my tank after driving around a little bit. Has anyone ever had this problem? Is it the gas station or is there something wrong with my car?
Thanks
Thanks

That explains one of my fill-ups with the CRX.
The counter on the pump read 12.9 gallons when I filled it up - my tank is 11.2 gallons.

yeah, if a pump clicks off on me, like twice I will hang it up and go to a gas station that does maintenance on their pumps.

im having the same problem. the last 2 fillups it would only allow me to put in around 9 gallons. ive had the car for 2 years and ive put in like 10.9 gallons before but the last 2 fillups have just been crappy. ive only got 200 miles out of this tank!

Re: Can't fill up gas tank all the way (FuknGSR)
going to work today, i stopped by the ol gas station to filler'up. my fuel light came on and i figured i better or else! :D so i pull in. the integra has an 11 gallon tank right? i only put in 7 gallons before it started overflowing. i checked the receipt from the last time i filled up and it was only 8 gallons.
whats up with this? do i need a new gas tank? are they expensive? i have a pretty nice dent from the previous owner in the gas tank but ive driven the car for over 2 years with not a problem. now all of sudden i cant get a full tank of gas! it happens at any gas station i goto so i know its not just the pump. HELP ME!

The teg has a 13.1 gallon tank. Usually when my fuel light goes on, I have ~3 gallons left in the tank since I usually can pump in only 10-10.5 gallons. The light shouldn't go on if you can only put in 7-8 gallons. I think your fuel meter or whatever it is that sense fuel levels in the tank is not working right.

Re: Can't fill up gas tank all the way (red97gsr)
how does the car know when the fuel tank is getting low? is there a little floatie thing in the gas tank? something i can replace for cheap? the previous owner smacked the gas tank and it has a big dent in it but it has never done this before until a few weeks ago. i just dont wanna be stuck on the side of the road or pay some ungodly amount of money for a new gas tank.
more power the red 97 gsr's out there! :D go red teg owners! hehehee!
