Filling up gas using handle lever lock won't hold

[JohnnyBronco]

I didn’t see it yet, and being that I live here I’ll kick it off……Jersey want to know, what is this problem you speak of?!

Beat me to it. It is crazy watching Jersey girls at a PA gas station. Even the redheads are blonde at the pump.

1st is free/strong economies, 2nd is/was communism and 3rd under or undeveloped

He was implying 1st world is NY where you have to hold the lever. Second is Jersey where you can't touch the handle and 32d is everywhere else with auto hold open nozzles.

Never happen to my Bronco, but my wife's Tahoe had that issue. The mechanic diagnosed the issue as a bad carbon canister evaporator ( or something like that). Now, the Tahoe had over 180K miles in it. If it doesn't do it in all pumps, I will rule that out. Let us know how you solved the issue.

Sitting in your car while self fillng a vehicle is illegal in my state and probably where you are also. Only New Jersey where self filling is outlawed

I couldn’t give 2 shits

Make sure the handle is straight up and back it out a notch.

The Yukon I had before Bronco would do that especially if I ran fuel level down. Put nozzle in, click lever to run and it would shit off in around 10 seconds. If the venting is blocked vapors will rise up the fill tube with enough moisture to activate the shutoff switch

It is the pump. Switch pumps.
