Cali Gas pump clicking off??

[Chris]

Don't know if that'll work out there. The pumps I've used when out in CA you have to push down on to make a "seal" before it will work. Annoying as hell that they can't be like gas pumps everywhere else in the country. Back in NH there was one station that I couldn't fill up at cause it would constantly click off but that is all I remember.

Here in BC we are aircare happy too, I really hope they don't go this route. How would you fill a plastic jerry can?

Its do-able but it sucks donkey c---

You can thank EPA and CARB for that. Those nozzles cost gas stations 15k a piece, and we wonder why gas is so pricey out here... Sent from an ice cream sammich.And hold on to your hats, the wonderful democratic leaders of our state (California), decided to raise the state gas tax 3.5 cents a gallon (starting July 1st) because "with all the new fuel efficient vehicles (i.e. the roller skate looking hybrids), Californians are using less gas now, "and we are loosing to much revenue"".Damned if you do, and damned if you don't!!!

More people need to drive 6.0+ engines and get that 11 mpg like me. We must offset the hybrids

This happens to me alot with my 2011 Yukon. Not so much with my 2008 Sierra. I just chalk it up to the sensitivity of the nozzle when it comes to detecting vapor. The way I get around it is to lift the nozzle handle up for the first 5 gallons or so and then I slowly rest the handle back down. I don't know if it's just me getting lucky but it seems to work well.

Yes they do. I worked at a newly opened gas station before I was in the military. I think Abe said he had to pay 13k per nozzle. He had 4. The repairs and certification was very expensive as well

Probably the same guy who sells the Pentagon toilet seats.

I have seen clips to hold back the seal in motorcycle magazine for pumps like california. Maybe try one of those?

What I have found out on my 09 Silverado is that if I hold the gas nozzle up instead of letting it rest like it is supposed to, it will fill my tank without clicking off until it is full.

It is kind of annoying to stand there and hold it, but that is what it does.

 

I think it is the way the filler tube is shaped.
