HELP...why can't I fill my Nissan Armada gas tank???

GM991 · 07-06-2009, 07:25 PM

I tried filling the gas tank and when I squeeze the lever on the gas hose the tank would start to fill for about 10 seconds then over flow.
Its NEVER done this before, So I went as sloooow as I could , got about a half a tank and went to another gas station thinking it was the pump, dam thing did it again. Could this be a venting problem on the gas tank neck????

a tank vent solenoid is part of the evap system, not for filling

So you are thinking the vent tube could have some crap in it?
Maybe try blowing it out with air?

Not so much for the post count, it's more of a funny smart ass thing he's going for! He's actually here to entertain us.

Can you open the tank door from the outside? Maybe some jackass put something in there.

might be a screen in the filler tube that got clogged up with dirt, pull out the filler tube and fill tube vent and make sure nothings in the way.

When my dad was working at a dealership they had someone come back with this same problem. Come to find out someone had stuffed a cigar down the filler tube!
