Nozzle Clicks To Stop Often When Filling With Fuel - Fixes?

[ausdrift]

I've had this issue on and off for a while now, so I thought I would throw it out there to see if its a common Skyline issue or if its just my R33

Often when filling up with fuel I will have the nozzle click and stop flowing fuel when the tank is not full. I will then have to endure either constant clicking and stopping of fuel flow, or Ill have to fill the tank with such low fuel flow/pressure that it takes a long time to complete.

Does this happen to you? Anyone know how to fix it?

turn the nozzle side ways when filling up, try 90degs

It is a long and complicated process to fix...which i did by just not putting nozzle in to the hilt, leave it out by 25mm

Remove boost pressure line connected to fuel tank.

increase boost to fuel tank

Seriously.....

I can fuel my R33 up, have it click off a few times, then pull the nozzle out nearly all the way and gently pull the trigger to slowly fill it till its just about overflowing. I don't do this often but have done it before

Have you tried changing the way you hold the nozzle in the filler?

The way that fuel guns work, your not going to come up with a fix that is going to be cheap and easy. Your going to need to pull the tank out and mess with the filler, and all to fuel your car up which I can do fine in my untouched R33. Makes no sense at all to me

use diesel!!! Or stop using diesel!!!

I guess ill just F around with the nozzle then...

yeah, without pulling it all apart or modifying it somehow you just live with it.. I would check that your breather hose to the filler neck and your charcoal filter are ok, but not much else u can do.

well actually.

depending when your car was complied (or if it was), you may have had an Oz spec fuel filler restrictor installed (well, or poorly depending on the shop). these can affect how it breathes when filling and therefore make the pump cut off early.

have a look at whether a restrictor was fitted, and consider removing it. I understand they are no longer required anyway

Turn the nozzle 90 Degrees as mentioned above. Works fine for mine

Hold the weight of the pump in your hand instead of resting it down on the car (so lift it up a little) and not all the way jammed in there. changes the angle the fuel goes in and doesn't trick the pump into thinking you're full.
