C450 fueling issue.
Hi.
Need some assistance..
Lately when I've been fueling up I get pauses from the fueling hose.. so I fuel the car and then the pump stops.. (mind you the tank is not full).. I start fueling again and it stops.. this continues on and on..
I heard that this is because there is air in the tank? How do I rectify?
Thanks.

I have the same problem every few fill ups. It happens when I'm on E and even a half tank. My dealer couldn't duplicate the error. Mwop mwop.

Never had this problem filling up my C450...then again I never squeeze the fueling level fully or try to jamb the fill cap in the handle like the lazy people do.

I think this is more about back pressure in the tank, or nozzle than another else. It changes for me with the weather. Usually a pull out slightly (don't read into that one!) and re-insert will get it moving fine again.

My 2015 C300 had its fuel tank replaced 0_0! It was filling up, but it would kick the fuel line at half a tank, and never went above that. Very strange.

I've had this problem on and off with both of my C300's. At one point I had the vent valve replaced. That fixed it for a while, but then the issue returned. Recently, I complained about it to my dealer and they replaced another part of the venting system. Since then it has been fine, and I can fuel the car with no problems at all.
The dealers can check on this, and will replace parts if needed under warranty.
