I have a C320 and every time I fill up gas, the gas pump keeps clicking and stopping the gas on me. I have to continually press the trigger over and over again. I'm guessing the seal between the pump and my gas tank isn't tight.

I've owned many cars before this and never had this problem before. Anyone else getting this strange behavior pumping gas? What should I do?

 

Are you trying different gas pumps? I've noticed this once or twice but it seems to be related to the gas station I'm at, and not my car in particular.

 

I agree with Mark. I only have this problem with particular gas pumps-- and not just with this car. Try another station before you get concerned about the problem. If it was a seal problem, you would likely get an indicator on the dash-- probably check engine. Most newer cars will throw a code if the seal is bad due to emissions controls systems.

Keep us posted.

 

I've only had to put in gas twice since I got the car (yes I drive very little). And both times I had that happen. Once it was at a Chevron station. The other I don't quite remember.

 

when i pump the gas also stops pumping too early. it never reaches the 1 mark. i remove the pump and put it back in and it then fills up all the way...75% of the time. i don't think it is anything major though.

 

besides my gas thank overflowing i have had the exact same problem. I had no idea what it was though. I am not sure if its the car since i always had it happen to me when i used to have my jaguar.
