Fuel filling problem

PRC · Nov 19, 2010

Hi guys er and girls ???

I have a small problem when filling my disco, it constantly makes the fuel nozzle cut out and when it does fill I get bubbling back up the pipe and more worrying is the vapor escape which is exessive to say the least. I have spoken to a couple of mechanics and they say they havent got a clue ??? need to change my garage I think ..... can anyone advise ?? has anyone else had this problem??.

Could be that vent pipe for the tank is blocked. There was a thread on this not long back.

Thanks chaps ... had a look and the pipe (the small one) goes in a loop just before it goes under the body and was flattened, I have straitened it out but it feels a bit brittle so I am going to replace it next weekend. just incase I get a leak.
