Btown Posted November 10, 2018 Posted November 10, 2018 Have a 2019 Silverado. Filled truck up 4 times now at 4 different stations in 2 different states. As gas tank fuel filler neck gets full gas nozzle shuts off and gas shoots out of filler neck all down the side of my new truck. If I did not jump out of the way it would be on me too. This is a brand new truck and has done this from day one. Plus gas all over the paint can’t be good for the clear coat. It’s not the gas pump since it does it everywhere and I have tried jamming the nozzle in as far as I can get it and tried pumping the gas very slow. Always same result, pump cuts off and then gas projectiles out of the filler neck. Anyone else have this issue? Thanks
Mad Maxx Posted November 10, 2018 Posted November 10, 2018 Could be an issue with the Fuel Tank Vent Hose. Could be pinched, clogged, not hooked up right at the Factory.
ECGolfer04 Posted November 10, 2018 Posted November 10, 2018 Have put 2200mi on mine so far and have not had that happen once 1
steve841 Posted November 11, 2018 Posted November 11, 2018 Yeah .. Im passing 2800 and never had anything like that.
Btown Posted November 12, 2018 Author Posted November 12, 2018 Thanks for all of the helpful feedback!
smit303 Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 When I first start filling up, it will shut off if I pump too fast or I have the nozzle too deep. Never had an issue with gas spewing out when full.
smit303 Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 Yes. I was in Attack Squadron 12 with the Navy during the Viet Nam War. We went to sea on onboard USS Independence. I was an aviation fire control technician. I worked on the flight deck most of the time. If not working on my equipment, we helped the ordnancemen load bombs. Good duty. I'm glad I served. I worked on A-4s too before the Corsairs. 2
Btown Posted November 13, 2018 Author Posted November 13, 2018 Thanks folks.....going to take mine into the dealer on Monday. Hope they don't have to take the fuel tank apart! They checked for a TSB and no issues with others as most of you confirmed so guess it will be a trial and error experiment .
GMC-AT Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 Sounds like an isolated issues... I'm sure the dealer can correct

Btown Posted November 20, 2018 Author Posted November 20, 2018 Well took my truck,to the dealer today. They removed the fuel filler hose and checked for any blockage. Finding none they put it back together. Filled up and no fuel spilling out and the gas nozzle cut off as it should when the feud reached the filler neck. Hope it will last! No more fuel on my truck and all over the ground. Bit puzzled why taking the hose off and putting it back on without doing anything fixed it? Any ideas? 1
