Since day 1 (2 months and 2000 miles ago) every time the pump gets to the end of filling up a giant air bubble shoots gas all out filler port onto me and down the side of the truck. Any ideas on what may cause that since day 1? Anyone else have this issue with the gasser?

My gas truck has never done this. Maybe a tank vent line is plugged or kinked somewhere?

That’s something I’ve never heard of but I’d be bringing it to the dealer immediately. 

This, and press the issue. 

 

We have an 08 Durango with a lifetime powertrain warranty.  It spewed fuel like your truck is doing.  There was later a recall on it.  The dealer performed the recall, problem solved right.... Hardly, the quarter panel later on developed rust under the filler spout where gas had run down the inside on the metal.  Dodge/Chrysler refused to take care the rust issue despite there being thousands of complaints.

 

Good luck.

I've had a vent plugged in the past. (on an '07 Pathfinder) If it gets bad, it'll continually stop the pump from filling... You have to keep starting the pump up. Endlessly annoying. Towards the end of a fill, it'll overfill like you're describing. Maybe yours is partially blocked?

 

Either way, it's a trip to the dealer for you. They told me (fwiw) that mine got plugged from me topping off the tank. I still do this, and haven't had issues in years. Who knows.

I heard topping off is no good so I’ve never done it. I mean if it stops at 87.91 I’ll go to 88.00 but I will only go a very small click.

What it does do is introduce liquid fuel to the evap. canister and when it purges some of that ends up in your crankcase. Trims will catch it quick enough you don't get a CEL but if overwhelms the rings. Chased that squirrel around the yard awhile. UOA showed a 3% spike in GC fuels. It's a vapor canister, not a liquid canister. 😉

Pinched vent line or obstructed vent line.  Something isn't allowing the tank to vent during fill up.  Its under warranty, take it back.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
