2003 S430 will not take fuel
I cannot fill up my S430?? Car was almost down to empty, pulled into the station, put in the nozel and it almost immediately shut off. Thought there was a problem with the pump, went to another one, same problem. Went to a different station, same problem. I have manage to "drip" a gallon or so in.
Car was also hesitating while driving. I figure this has to be some vapor lock issue. Unscrew cap, get a small release, still wont take fuel.
Back at the house, I put a siphon tube down, gets in about a foot or so and meets some hesitation and then continues.
Is there a scondary flap lower down the neck? Should I let the car sit with the cap off? Live in Vegas and it has been in the mid 80's and I have never had this problem before.
Please help.
