Default HELP!

I went to the gas station this morning to fill up my car. My gas light just came on the night before (so my tank only had a couple gallons in it). The fuel pump kept auto stopping as if the tank was full. So I thought the pump was messed up and I drove to another gas station next door. The same thing happened and gas actually over flowed out! I didn't even put $1 in my tank yet! WTF is going on with my car???

Default Sounds like you have something blocking the filler neck?

Unless you can get it out or figure out what else it might be. I would take it to the dealership.

Default Re: HELP!

It happened once to me. Just start filling very slowly and eventually you will be able to put it back on auto.

Default that happens to me all the time, just gotta sit with it and slowly fill it, only happens when (m)

you let the car get really low on gas and continue to whip it around turns and stuff.

Default Do you have an aftermarket exhaust system? I recall reading a post ...

...either here or in AZ about aftermarket exhaust systems rubbing against some fuel hoses and causing the exact same symptoms you describe.

Default Yup...it's the pressure...

Happens to me when I let the tank get REAL low. Just use slightly depress the flap, using the nozzle, without filling the tank, and let the air pressure out. If you move in closely, you'll hear the air coming out.
