Problem pumping Chevron gas

Is anyone else out there having problems while pumping chevron gas? Everytime I try to pump the gas nozzle shuts off every 2 seconds. Its been going on for a month now (various chevron stations) and the last tank I tried Mobil gas and it worked fine...however I tried pumping at Chevron again and the same thing happened. Any ideas? I know most of you will say stop using Chevron but its the closest station to my house...

TIA

 

I have issues with some stations because the probe is long enough to catch build up in the fill tube. Perhaps chevron stations in your area have recently switched the fueling handles.

 

i usually just use shell or speedy stops so i dont really know whats going on with chevron

 

Pull the nozzle out from the gas tank a bit. The chevron might have the pressure up on the nozzle (to pump gas) kinda high.

 

Thanks, i'll try that the next time i pump.

 

If it keeps on doing it. Take it in to the dealership. Just to make sure its not the cut off valve in the gas tank messing up.

 

Ive had to do it in my truck and when I was fueling up my moms Merc at a few Shell, Exxon stations. We dont have too many Chevron or Texaco stations...

 

I regularly fill-up at Chevron with no problems.

There may be something with the anti-siphon mechanism causing the old vaporlock issue with the pumps you're using. Eventually all the gas stations (not just Chevron) will have the new nozzles to limit vapor even more than the current nozzles. The stations round me have already switched and I like them a lot better. Previous nozzles had a tenancy to push back out of the filler on their own so I had to hold them.

*disclaimer.. I work for Chevron so I won't say anything bad .. it is the same nozzles though that everyone else is going to be using though.

 

That's what she said.

 

yo dude some companys pumps are set to pump faster then others.... this could be the problem

 

i dont even have chevron in new jersey!

 

true, hopefully he found this out some 20 months ago when he posted this...!!

 

I used to have the same problem. You know the little lever that you prop to hold the handle? Instead of putting it on the steepest setting. Just put it at the first. If that makes sense. This makes it so the handle isn't all the way squeezed. It should work just fine after doing that.

 

i can't give him too much grief for reviving an old thread...at least it seems the newb used the search feature...lol

 

Wish we did

 

I just pump at a angle now and don't have any problems.

 

I have a problem every time at the pump... I have to hold the handle up higher

 

thats not what she said.........
