Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Like the title says, my 996 sprayed gas at me tonight. I was trying to refuel because the computer said 20 miles till empty, and after dispensing .2 gallons the car sprayed fuel from the gas tank. I thought I did something wrong so I tried again and got sprayed a second time. Surely it must have been the pump right? So I tried another gas station and what happened? It fockin' srpayed gas at me again. WTF?
possibly something broken with the gas line? you may need a dealer visit. try pouring gas using a can if you are worried you won't have enough range to the dealer.
I havent taken the filler neck apart on a 996, and it's been a while since i've taken the fuel tank out so I dont remember if you can, but on the later BMW's there is a flap to prevent fuel from splashing back up the neck. I wonder if that could be stuck and causing a problem. Just an idea.

There is a small valve on the filler inlet to allow air out of the tank as you fill. You might need to get a new one. It is located under the fender tough to get to but can be done. Dealer runs about 250 for part and install.

fuse e6 most common thing to blow this fuse is nothing to do with the orvr system but the infotainment system that shares the fuse generaly if t he car doesnt have premium sound the plug is loose undeer the console and gets rattled and hits a ground = popped fuse
Blown fuse can also be casued by shjorted reed switch, or shorted orvr valve all possible but not as common
onboard refueling vapor recovery (ORVR)
These systems are designed to capture the vapors displaced by the incoming fuel in the vehicle's vapor canister rather than releasing them into the atmosphere
well the first thing you should check is if you dont have premium sound theres a plug under the console that like to short out against the air bag ecu and blow the fuse, after that its hard to tell if it only does it once in a while
I'm glad I became a member. I have never even heard of a fuse that can cause this. Thanks for the info. No premium sound here. Don't need to worry about this, I think?
ACTUALY THIS ONLY HAPOPENS ON CARS WITHOUT PREMIUM SOUND, THE PLUG FOR PREIMU SOUND IS STILL THERE THERES JUST NOTHING PLUGEED INTO IT CAUSING THE PROMBELMS MENTIONED
