Hey guys/gals

When i fill my taco up, it clicks off quite early with the nozzle all the way in. I can squeez at least another $3-$5 (canadian) in if i back the nozzle out a little and fill slower. WTF? If i wanna get this truck TOTALLY fully, i look like an idiot at the pumps for like 5 min, clicking the pump on/off constantly.

Anyone else experience this?

Stop on the first click!
If you don't you can mess up your emissions system. There is a check valve and a evaporator canister that can become messed up if you over fill you tank.

But he wants it "truck TOTALLY fully"


Astorms, Its going to be ok if you dont get that extra 1/2 gallon or so. :thumbup:

Frankly i think your wasting your money "topping" things up at the end of a fill. After two years in the oil patch and hours spent filling gasonling and diesels i've noticed that fuel you get with a moderate sqeeze on the nozzle in comparason to wide open doesnt work out in your favor. For example we'd pump 5$ worth (wide open) into a pail then another 5$ worth in another pail squeezing half throttle or less. You get less for your money is what i am saying. May only be a buck or two here and there but who likes to waste money. Stop at the first click.

It's a gasser not a diesel; no need to fill it slowly. Just fill it up to the first click, maybe a couple of extras for the hell of it.

:jerkit:I was always told to stop after one click - any more and you're playing with it.

Huh? If you stop filling at $5, fast or slow, it should be the same volume of liquid. Is there something that I am not understanding?

 

[ambrew]

I can fit 9 liters after 1st click when i need the range.no problems yet.

Yes it moves the same volume but the slower it flows the more it's restricted and more air is moved isstead of fuel. I dont want to get all technical but all im saying is the pump is less accurate when your half ass squeezing it or topping up. Maybe not on all pumps but I noticed a difference after comparing them im a bucket even though it says it pumped the same volume.
Maybe its just too cold up here and i cant tell the difference.
