    Went to fill up on gas today, you know when its about to be done filling when it makes a noise... i heard that and then the thing started to puke up some gas like it was saying "NO MORE PLEASE!" :puke:

    Im thinking that its just the nozzle being stuck cause its cold but what you guys think?

    not exactly that but similar,
    I dont know about you guys when you guys fill up but "most" of the time when I fill up my tank and its almost full, i can feel a sudden drop of my car like a few mm's if i lean against my car. I know I'm putting weight on the car when filling but why a sudden drop?

    I actually had the nozzle shoot off the filler. Fortunately it stopped running so there was minimal spilled gas. I actually think the reason it came off was because the rubber sleeve (vapor catch?) was an accordion-style thing and I've noticed those never fit right over my filler so when the nozzle stopped fueling the jerk freed it and the sleeve acted like a spring.
