Fuelfill

Topic starter

I have a 2006 Chrysler 300C SRT8.  It has 90K miles.  When I go to Service station to fill up, the filler nozzle trips off due to what appears to be a restriction in the filler tube.  This has progressively gotten worse.  I have to let the fuel trickle into the filler tube.  I have checked the local auto parts and the filler tubes are no longer available.  Any suggestions?

Fuel tank emissions issue. It can be as simple as a insect nest in the breather vent on the emissions canister or its valve. As you put gas in, air has to come out.

Exception would be, seen it happen...someone tried to siphon gas and jammed the check valve deep inside the fill tube. Would have to remove tube to check that.

Not talking about the little metal flap just under the gas cap. That's a holdover from leaded gas days with large nozzles. Even though some still manage to pump diesel in a gas tank. 🙄
