somerandomguy Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 fuel sender I have this issue intermittently in my caddy, it will only fill up like 12 gals and I can't pump more then I turn on my car and its a mark short of full. My Caddy is supposed to hold 18gals but only holds 14-15 due to this too, a guy on the caddy forum said its the fuel pump sender. Uh, I'm not sure.... BUT I think all that means is that your caddy shows E when there are 3-4 gallons left. I don't know anything about gas tanks, so correct me if I'm wrong..I guess. But, there is nothing in the fuel tank that shuts off to make it so you don't put more gas in it when it's full.. it stops because the hose has a thing on it that it can tell when the fuel is at a certain level on the hose?

Mr. Darkjustice Posted March 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 ok ill start over. the other night i had 1/4 of a tank. so i say hey why not be a cheap ass and fill it up. so i go to pump it and 3 seconds into it the trigger clicks and gas spurts out. it does this consistently from start to finish regardless of how much is in the tank and how hard or soft i pull the trigger. the reason i posted was to see if there was somethin i might be able to do without takin it to the shop given i dont have the time or place to store my subs atm cause im sure them bein in my car would void my warrenty. oh and i monitor my gas amount based on how many miles to E i have. i dont know if that changes anything or not.

az73 Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 OK.... i'll answer again. i bet a $100.00 internet $'s that your VENT has got clogged. whether by fuel getting in it or something else. when you put gas in the air in the tank has to go somewhere. its not and its pushing the fuel back out the fill and spraying out on you.

I didn't know there was a vent.. but this sounds to be true. Just take it to the dealer.. you'll have to no matter what, right ? I mean if there is something wrong with the tank (or something in it) are you going to be able to fix it? without voiding warranty? no? so..
