I Just got some work done on my car and now I can't fill my up my gas tank. I Can only fill 5 gallons when I'm on empty. What happened to my car. This would happen to me at certain gas pumps, I only use shell but not at every shell.

What kind of work did you have done on your car? Was the gas tank involved in the repairs?

when getting gas, turn the handle upside down... there are certain pumps where if the nozzle is in there normal it kicks off like it is full.... but when i turn it upside down it works without any issues

Nothing anywhere near the gas tank.

Hopefully you dont have the same problem I had, I had to have my entire system replaced. I could never get full tank never fill up. Brought car to dealer they replaced a valve that goes from 1 tank to the other, after doing so they broke my fuel gauge. I ran out of fuel a few times because it would say half full but ended up being empty. Anyway good luck you may want to look into that valve.

You can't give a straight answer?

If it was no where near the gas tank, why even mention it? Doofus.

He changed the clock, it's flashing 666. Now it won't fill the tank.

I usually notice cold weather plays a factor.

I usualy have to only put the nozzle in a bit, not all the way in,happens at some pumps,some it doesnt.

Again OP what work was done?

Sorry about that. I got my art test pipes removed and put back on. Also had the rubber components of the front lower chamber arms replaced along with some other part related to the rubber that usually get replaced at the same time.

I Just went to another shell and was able to put 10 more gallons in, so 5 +10 on empty = 20gallons? My gauge also says I have 253dte. That is really low.

Correct my horrible math skills, but doesn't 5+10=15?

What is the most you have ever put in? I have put in over 19 gallons once in almost 7 years. Usually 17.5 to 18 and I drive way past DTE 0.

Its just the opening of the tank. Its an Asian car, so its tight.

I thought I had a problem with my gas tank, but this happens occasionally. Like they said, you just need to hold the nozzle upside down and that usually does the trick. I have to push the nozzle up and hold onto it myself, I can't just put it on the clip to have it pumped automatically because it won't stay for some reason. So yeah, just push the nozzle up and pump it yourself and you should be fine.

Here is a thread that will help you understand the problem you describe:

My 2003 Performance model was part of a voluntary recall by Nissan to repair the problem.

I get 10.5 gallons max on the fillup when the light comes on.
