I have tried every gas station in my area. Only one is consistently allows me to go "full throttle" while filling. Is this a disco thing or should I take it in for a service check? thanks,   EricV (Bender2033) Member Username: Bender2033 Post Number: 246 Registered: 08-2002 Posted on Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 11:59 pm:    I found that if I hold the nozzle up towards the side of the truck rather than letting it simply sit in the filler neck that I can fill full speed.   Donald M (Discodon) New Member Username: Discodon Post Number: 9 Registered: 08-2003 Posted on Monday, September 15, 2003 - 02:36 am:    Yep, I get that too. Clicks off after a few seconds at full flow. seems strange but if a start filing very slowly and bring it up to full flow...it fills OK. Can't think of a reason for it though.....   Joey (Joey4420) Member Username: Joey4420 Post Number: 199 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Monday, September 15, 2003 - 08:09 am:    On mine, I just put the nozzle in just far enough to hold the handle up and in the neck, and it works fine. If I try to put it too far in, it stops every time.   Frank Rafka (Mongosd2) Dweb Lounge Member Username: Mongosd2 Post Number: 103 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Monday, September 15, 2003 - 08:48 am:    try rocking the truck back and forth, sounds stupid but it works with mine... frank   June H.

If you refill at 1/4 tank you should be fine. If you have it on E put the 3 gallons drive a while then fill up.   micky dee (Kincangokicker) Member Username: Kincangokicker Post Number: 70 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 09:26 pm:    we had a boat that did the same thing. i found that the vent line was blocked. so clean the vent line and it should be fine
