When you are pumping your gas, and the thing clicks, do you have to pull the pump head out a couple inches and continue, or am I just retarded? If so, has anyone came up with a remedy for this?
Also, how many gallons it is supposed to hold? I have filled it to the brim before when I wasn't paying attention, I think I got 14 out of it, but it wasn't fully empty. I could be mistaken though. |

Just an FYI.
If you are running a 914 with F.I. do not be tempted to "top-off" the tank. A little fuel can get into the carbon filter (aka charcoal cannister) each time you top off and eventually ruin it requiring removal or replacement (especially in smog test states). You will know when it is ruined because there will be a constant smell of gas. This happened to my wife's Jaguar XJ-6 and has happened to several people on Porsche Pete's Boxster Board and is apparently a common problem with F.I. cars and people trying to get that last few drops of gas in their tanks every time. |
