Not sure if this is the correct forum category...

Two times in a row at two different gas stations my gas tank overflowed. Usually the automatic shut-off at the pump clicks when it's full, it didn't do it the last two times.

Is there anything mechanical about the S that helps the fuel shut-off at the pumps? Or is it just my luck that I hit two bad pumps at two different gas stations?

btw, the first pump I had issues with was at a gas station I've often filled at...don't recall if I've ever used that specific pump though.

Any help or insight is appreciated. Thanks.

i couldnt tell you about the s having something that aids the gas to shut off but i bet it was just luck

Probably just problems with the gas nozzle. The nozzles have a neat little vacuum feedback setup that should trip the nozzle latch when the tip of the nozzle submerges in the gas in the filler neck. If it keeps happening make sure the nozzle is fully inserted in the fill neck and maybe fill at a slower rate.

make sure you are sticking the nozzle all the way in

Maybe you can try lifting the nozzle a bit during filling?

mine does this about 25% of the time. i always just grab those free paper towels and bundle it up underneath the nozzle

Yea as others have posted just make sure the nozzle is in all the way. The same crap happened to me a few times last year. The most recent one I had a Dumb & Dumber momment . "f'n embarrassing"
