I only have the issue at one station. The fix there was to hold the handle sideways with the hose pointing towards the rear tire. Frustrating until I figured out this trick.

Search on youtube.com under "gas fill problems" Usually it is the vent control solenoid that is at fault.

I've had issues with some pumps in cold weather on previous vehicles. It generally helped to pull the pump out as much as possible so its not all the way in but not far enough out where it would fall

I believe it's a GM issue with the way the neck goes to the tank. I have the most issues at pumps with worn out nozzles. The station by my house I have to hold the nozzle while I pump because the nozz

I fixed mine today check your vent hose that runs from the filler neck to the tank and see if it has a kink in it. If it does that's the problem, I cut 2" off of the hose and straightened it and reinstalled and that fixed it I put 24 gallons of fuel in about 2-3 min. Fixed!!

I got my truck back from the dealer for this issues and the paperwork/ the service writer stated that their was a debris stuck inside the hose I guess causing the issue. I don't believe that but as long as the tech fixed the issue is all I care. Pumped gas and no issues yet.

It has improved but it still happens but not a lot before the tech did what they did. I went back for the driver seat moving around, they shimmed it or something and also complained about the gas tank issue. My service writer stated they are going to replace the gas tank so it's on order right now. They will call me when the part comes in and replaced the gas tank from what he explained to me.

Check the vent hose for a kink in it...It won't take much to disrupt the air flow to vent the tank properly. Not sure why the dealers are relpacing the fuel tank.

Yes make sure to check the hose changing the tank won't fix the problem or atleast it didn't with mine. Theye "removed the tank and blew all the vent hoses out. Problem solved.

Dropped of my truck today, I check with the service writer and he stated yes they are replacing the gas tank. I wish I knew more details what's wrong with the gas tank but the tech is installing a new gas tank for sure. Coming from the service writer.

With mine, if I put the nozzle all the way in, it would shutoff every $1.50-$2.00, on most pumps. I have been dealing with it, just have to remember to put it all the way in and pull it back out about 1/2".

I know if I hit a freak gas station with real good pump pressure these trucks do not like it.

 

I have to slow it down a bit.

 

I did have one issue with my 2014 once it kept shutting off so I assumed it was full and when I got back in it was at half.

 

Went to a different station and it filled right up. I just assumed the pump I was at had an issue and was kicking off to easy.

 

It only ever happened the one time. I was back at the same station using the same pump with no issues but I have no idea they may have fixed the pump.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Disassembly may be Required!   Every blender makes claims but do  you ponder those claims? What was really said? Was it true?  Motive for saying it? What does in infer?  Is that inference true?    Let's do one.    Claim: Made from shear stable base oils.    What was said: Base Oils are shear proof.   Was it true: Yes.  ALL base oils are Newtonian.    Motive / Inference: To imply the fully formulated product is Shear Proof.    Is the Inference true?: Most fully formulated multigrade oils contain Viscosity Modifiers or VM's, sometimes called VII or Viscosity Index Improvers. There are four types. One is in fact shear proof but it also has a bad effect on extreme cold flow and is restricted to use in specialty oils. A second has limited shear called a 0-5 SSI polymer. Meaning its shear is limited to a range of zero to five percent as reported by the ASTM D6278 Shear Stability Index test. A few high end oils, like Torco SR-5, use them and brag about it profusely. Actually all that use it point it out. The last two shear dramatically and are often marketed as a 'feature' of the product aiding the oil to meet fuel standard requirements of ever stricter rules. One shears more than 5% and the other up to 20%. As you make guess, cost is directly linked to shear down and as such the majority of oils use the cheapest organic polymers sold to make grade and pass stringent tests.    PPD's or Pour Point Depressants also shear a bit, only a few percent and hide inside the 0-5 SSI capabilities.    The blender knows he can not out engineer Stribeck. Physics is not a suggestion. But he can wordcraft the unsuspecting toward believing a false claims INFERENCE. This is LEGAL. It is COMMON, and it is EFFECTIVE.

      I don't recall ever dealing with one on an '06 and back. It may not even exist on that. I can't remember for sure.   Any kind of ice in or after the evaporator is normally due to low charge with both a clutch-cycling orifice tube system, and a TXV system.

      Engines wear. It is unavoidable. So the question isn't if it will wear out but rather WHEN it will wear out. That question is about rate and RATE is a HUGE problem for almost everyone; but not in the way we may think.    Unless there is something drastically wrong with your powertrain, wear is exceedingly slow. It doesn't wear out in minutes or hours or days or months but in years or even decades. Ditto sludge and varnish. Humans are an impatient lot so to see the benefit of a truly superior product you may have to wait a very long time. Most will get bored first and trade before they reap the benefit.   Humans are not companionate creatures when it comes to those we do not know. We don't care what happens to the second or third owner as long as it doesn't happen to us or someone we know and actually like.   Sad commentary on humans but it is what it is. That thus, then, there is no advantage...to or for you if the above paragraphs adequately describe you.    BUT if you are a buy and hold type and patient enough to reap the rewards of your labors then that thing that is happening that you haven't yet seen, but will; can be abated by such products. Seals harden and leak with time and lots of it. Rings stick after thousands of miles of a slowly building plaque of varnish.    Then there is this. This didn't happen over night and this poor fellow knew when he removed the cover and not one second before.   Not "aware' isn't the same thing as "isn't happening".        The above was typical of the Ford 361 and 391 bus motors on Bulk Pennzoil Mineral Oil products on 3K mile OCI's at about 60K miles back in the 60's and 70's at the Anamosa School District when my Uncle took over their maintenance program.    This is Pepper at @ 165K on 5K OCI's using Group IV/V Full Synthetics.      HM oils will help the first but not the second.    Then again if one used..... ah, ya know.....

      Awesome you got it sorted! That's a new potential issue I'll have to mark in my book of issues. Thanks for the feedback.
