Fuel Pump Problems
Hello Folks,
Yesterday I went to thegas station to fill up on gas as I was close to empty on gas. When I started pumping the gas something strange happened that has never happened to me ever before (on any car that I own). The pump stopped pumping into the gas tank every two seconds. At one point (the third try), the fuel actually overflowed out of my gas tank. I know I am low on gas; however, my tank refuses to fill up and stops the pump everytime I try filling up. (you know when filling up at the pump the pump automatically stops when it reaches a certain level that's considered enough for a car?, welli reach that every two seconds of pumping on an empty thank)Not sure what the problem is and I am going to head to the mechanic tomorrow, but I would like hear if this has happened to anyone before and what was the cause? I don't want to get ripped off at the mechanic because it's rough times as it is, so please let me know what can be done.
Thank you.
