When I try to refuel, the pump won't allow me to fill the tank. It shuts off as if I was overflowing it. Any ideas? I put in $1. at a time!!!

I have that problem every once in a while (actually, yesterday). For me, it seems to be the pump nozzle that is the problem. It's overflow detector is too sensitive or something. Using a different pump always solves the problem.

Your case might be different. When you look inside your filler, can you see and verify that the little metalic flapper moves inward freely? The gas pump nozzle has to go in past that to work properly.

Thanks for the advice... I'm also going (Now) to fill up or try to and keep the nozzle in the right position. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again.
