CA Gas Station Issues

Has anyone had a trouble with CA gas pumps? I feel like I can never get it to fill up continuously without clicking off or the pump popping out just enough trigger the pump to shut off. Was getting a little frustrated today when even holding it I could only get about 3/4 of a gallon before it clicked off again. Seems intermittent but often enough to annoy.

That happens to me sporadically, usually at older pumps. Most of the time it doesn't do that though and fills up all the way without issue. We were down in San Diego this summer (not that there's anything special about the CA pumps that I know of). It happens all the time with my motorcycle though.

It happens with my truck maybe 1/20 times if that.

Have occasionally had that same trouble, but I don't think it is specific to CA. Sometimes the gas pump pressure and volume is too much and I just throttle back a little until it stops shutting off. Other times, I have had to change the angle of the gas nozzle in the filler neck.

Funny side note: My wife's car shows full when the gauge pointer is to the left. My Canyon shows empty to the left. I took her car and thought it was out of gas when in fact, it was full when I stopped to fill the tank. I got really irritated that the nozzle kept clicking off. Didn't figure it out until it finally overflowed.

Am I the one person that has never, ever had this happen? The only problem is when I try to fill up the Suburban the pump won't let me dispense all 42 gallons in one go.

Common complaint on the 2nd gen truck.

I'll find the thread and merge it.

Have you tried another gas pump? I have no trouble on my crew cab, short bed.

Where are you located - seemed to be a bigger problem in California with their vapor recovery pump nozzles.

That happens to me what I do is push down on the nozzle while locking it. That helps me to make it stay in place. I'm in California by the way

 

[patman]

yes i am in California thanks for the help

I live in CA also and my 2016 GMC Canyon does the same thing , so I just hold it the old fashioned way

Mine was doing the exact same thing, but I recently found out that if you push down with decent force, it will lock and work as it should.

I live in New Jersey and we are not allowed to pump our own gas. But, have not seen any of the gas jockeys ever having a problem.....they click and walk away.

There should be a hook on the the gas door... just loop the stay over that and you should be in good shape
