Chevrolet/gas tank and fueling
Advertisement
Question
I own a 2000 Chevy Impala, and I am having problems putting gasoline in my tank. I can get maybe a dollars worth of gas in my tank before it spews out the chute. It will take me 20 minutes to fill my tank, because it will only accept very little gasoline at one time. Please help me. The fume filter cylinder has been replaced and didnt really help.
Lora,
If you are having that much trouble- there must be something wrong with the tank fuel tube , I would check with a dealer . thats the only thing that could be in the way - the tube might be bent or something is hitting the gas spout so it will not allow the fuel to go into the tank .it might be a defect ..
