Default Gas issues??

Everytime I fill my car up...the gauge never goes to the top....the pump stops which normally means that the tank is full however....when all is said and done my gauge is practically at the second tick mark already....anyone got this problem????



thanks

yes several people seem to have that problem. I think there was another thread just a few down from this one talking about it too.

take it to the dealer

Almost everyone has had this problem at least once. I don't think the dealer can do anything about it. The Z is just sensative to the angle and flow of the gas pump. I think it is due to a small filler neck. Just make sure the pump is shooting straight down the filler neck and start with maybe half the flow and then slowly press the handle more. Some pumps are better than others and some gas stations are better than others. The trick is to learn how much you need and don't stop till you have around that amount.

The trick is dont push the gas nozzle all the way in. Leave about couple inches slack.
