I need help! I got a 99 Ford Ranger xlt 3.0 and I have this issue thats bugging me.

Every time I fill up my truck it turns into a huge hassle. Its not supposed to be like that.

When I put the gas nozzle in the tank and hold the handle down it starts pumping gas but stops right away. It stops like my tank is full but no where is it close. This happens like 30 times throughout trying to fill my tank. Its so frustrating because I need to hold the handle down so perfectly and any little sensitive movement it stops pumping.

I always want a full tank, especially when its cheap. Well I know that I need to be in a certain range to get a full tank but sometimes it stops to early and I just dont know to keep pumping or not.

Someone please help im lost on this one

Thanks,
Greg

 

happened to me a while back, but then it stopped doin it

maybe itll go away

 

dont fill bad my truck is doing the same thing mine is a 08 with 3000 miles on it i need to run it to the dealer and get it checked it only does it at certain gas stations and if i hold the nozzle up it pumps fine

 

I thought someone said on another thread that it had to do with a breather tube or something

 

mine does that too but I just stick my gas cap under the nozzle to hold it up and that seems to work.
