Problems getting gas pump to lock - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Actually for me it just depends on the pump. Some places I have no issues, other places the nozzle tries jumping out of the car

Same for me although varies at different pumps. One thing I have found to help is not to pull the trigger all the way but latch at the second to last, seems to do fine.

Every time I try to fill up my car, the gas pump handle will not stay locked. I have to physically hold the handle in the right position to get it to fill...

I noticed there is no metal 'flap' over the hole to the tank, is this normal?

Thanks!

Not an issue here in Ga.

A pretty simple fix is to just pull out the nozzle a little and itll lock. Easy..
