Default i have a weird problem...help needed.

i am having gas issues, whenever i try to pump gas the pump will only let me fill a small amount before spraying out. it happens even when i am very low on fuel. the only thing i can think of is maybe something is in there like a peice of depry or a small animal? any ideas?

that's odd...does it act the same as it does with a full tank?

So can you fill the tank all the way? And what happens if you pump really slow?

I'm having a problem similar to this, but the pump never shuts off for me so gas spills everywhere.

sounds like the problem is in the pump, more than your car. try a diff station.

Something similar happens with my car every now and then, I usually just hold the fuel nozzle at a different angle. Some fuel system cleaner might help too.

try checking the pipe where you put the gas in maybe there is something stuck in it.
