Besides being upset paying $2.53 a gal for gas this morning I had another problem. Filling the tank took forever due to the fact that the nozzle kept shutting off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) The nozzle didn't qiute fit right either. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Is this an issue anyone else has ?, and/or is there a way to prevent the pressure from building up and shutting off the pump ?. Thanks.
Greg. BTW - today was my cars first trip into work...30 miles,whole lotta fun ! |

I notice when I travel in CA with the Boxster that the newer pumps with the accordian style vapor recovery cover over the nozzle always click off every few seconds unless I really push the nozzle in to make pressure against the cover or pull back on the cover by hand to create pressure.
I also agree about not setting those pump handles on automatic. Stupid thing is designed to keep any vapors from escaping but the auto cut-off deson't work at all on these new style pumps and your cars ends up spewing a quart of gas back out which realeases more vapors that you ever would release normally. Those pumps are starting to show up at Chevron stations in AZ too. I hope they don't catch on. |
