So here's the problem... while filling up my 75 914 the gas nozzle constantly goes off, as in it trips the release handle like its full. I know it's not full but if I don't fill it at the slowest speed it will constantly trip the nozzle. Anybody else have this issue? Is there a blockage somewhere?
Thanks in advance. Greg |

The inlet for our tanks is not shaped correctly for modern gas nozzles.
The only way to keep the nozzle in there is to press it down with your hand while you're filling up. If you don't hold it down, it will shut off and can even jump out and damage your fender. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
