This issue has been bugging me for over two months now.

Whenever im out of petrol and go to refill. The petrol pumping system is set automatically to start filling.


My problem is that my car refuses the automater puping system. For example Im to refill and at 1.5 litres the automated system stops. It has to be hold manually untill the car is full. Not only that but even holding it manually it seems that my car tank dislikes the petrol being pupmed into it for the first 20 litres approx. After that everything seems ok.

Guys i spend 15 mins at the petrol station just for a refill.

Whenever i take my car to the dealer they tell me that everythings fine and ive got nothing to worry about .


Does anyone faces this issue besides me ?

 

I don't have any problems filling up my car.

Strange. Does it happen just at one particular station, or all the time? Those pumps detect backup pressure from gases returning to trigger the stop, so I can't see something being wrong with YOUR car persay. I've had this occur a few times, but only at ONE particular station near my house with my RX. It never occurs anywhere else but this one station.

I would say it's a pump issue, but if you're getting at different stations at different times, then don't know what to say...

 

There is a TSB on fuel filling issues and they have a updated fuel filler neck to fix. Check with your dealer for warranty work or order the new part and install yourself takes around two hours to replace.

 

Actually i get the issue at different petrol stations. This car is turning me crazy.

 

My LS430 would do that at a particular filling station. Other stations it was no problem at all.

No issues with the LS600hL.

Might want to look into the TSB.
