gas fill problem - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Does anyone have my problem with gas fill-up. I have to physically hold the nozzle by hand in fairly upright position to fill Camaro. Can not use auto fill flip on nozzle to fill by itself. Any thoughts?

Yup - multiple threads on this...

Yeah I've had the same problem. I think it's partly the Chevy tank setup cause this would happen on my Avalanche as well. But I think it only happens with "Healy" nozzles, which for some reason now dominate my local gas pumps.

owned gm's my whole life and never had a problem maybe your pump handle at your gas station is short.

I've only filled mine once. I went with the dealer when we did it on delivery day to make sure they put 93 octane in mine. I didn't have a problem with that particular pump (it was a BP station). But I've heard others report this same problem.

I've heard of several people with this problem. I am not one of them. I think it might be something to do with the pump.

Sword5 · 02-09-2010, 06:50 PM

No problems here, auto fill works great.

JProberts · 02-09-2010, 06:56 PM

No problems here either, I think the autofill thing is a function of the pump isn't it?

joe.thompson25 · 02-09-2010, 07:00 PM

I had an issue the first time I put gas in mine. Simple re-seated the nozzle and tried again. Haven't had a problem since (~5 tanks later...)

shad2009 · 02-09-2010, 07:26 PM

well i have a traverse and around my area we don't have an auto fill, so i stick the gas cap under the handle..maybe that will work for you

monstertodd · 02-09-2010, 07:35 PM

Mine does this, I always have to hold the nozzle or it will just shut off.

trickortreat · 02-09-2010, 07:35 PM

I'd had this problem. So far, I've only had the problem at Exxon. Must be a gas station specific thing.

ElManny · 02-09-2010, 07:38 PM

for callifornians is the new healy pump vapor recovery systems. didnt have problems with mine until we did the "upgrade"

P.S. i say we cause i run a gas station

HDDAN · 02-10-2010, 06:14 AM

Yeah, my Buick does it too. If I pull the nozzle out a little, it will work. So much for the greenie's evaporation nozzles.
