posted this once before and got no answer so will try again.

new to forums and just bought an 04 s60 2.4 n/a with 71000 on it.
my question is every time i fill the gas right after the pump auto clicks off when full a small amount of gas spills out of the fill neck.
not alot maybe 1/2 cup or so.
what would cause this \, clogged tank vent maybe?
thanks for any help.

 

Has some one replaced the fuel pump on the car?

 

not that i know of and thanks for the fast reply

 

car was bought at a dealer and service card-record has all service stamps done up to current mileage, dont know if this helps

 

Maybe one of the vent hoses are clogged.
Or maybe the flap in the tank isn't working correctly.

 

can this be checked out by blowing air through the small vent hose that runs to the filler neck-opening?

 

I believe you are still protected under the lemon law and should have them look into it.

I don't think it is a lemon, but probably needs to be looked at by a qualified tech.

And of course this happens at different gas stations?

 

yes it happens at all stations

please explain about the lemon law thing,i dont want to go and pay to have this looked at if idont have to

 

I have seen 2 things cause this. 1. Some one replaced the pump and the wires are blocking the flap from opening all the way. 2. The flap itself messes up and doesn't open all the way causing the problem.

 

The lemon laws depend on your State (if you are in the US, of course).

They protect you against vehicles, used or new, bought from a professional dealer. You need to go look and read about it.

 

i will check the laws here in ct. thanks for the info

so i have to remove the tank to check this, i think it will be easier to just stand back a little so i dont get any on my shoes

 

There is an access under the seats to get to the fuel pump and other sending unit.

 

if its that easy maybe then i will take a look, doesnt affect the driveability of the car so no big rush.
thanks for all the help
