Some times the pump is like if it was slowly letting out just a little dribble. What’s up with that?

    Would you happen to know the reason why in certain cases where the vehicles fuel tank is not actually full, but the nozzle shuts off multiple times?

    Is this another maintenance issue with the nozzles shutoff mechanism?

      I had this problem with my last car and I’m certainly going to explain it poorly but here goes.

      There’s a vent or pipe of sorts in or around where the fuel goes into your car and if it gets clogged vapors build up and cause the shutoff mechanism in the handle to trigger prematurely. Cleaning it out can help.

      But I also just came across this saying it’s probably the pumps fault. So it’s probably best to disregard everything I’ve said. https://jalopnik.com/you-may-want-to-avoid-yosemite-national-park-right-now-1850592362
