Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

the last 4/5 fuel fill ups ive had problems with blowback and the fuel nozzle cutting out (as it does when full) every few seconds making filling annoying and time consuming - at first i suspected an oversensitive nozzle but it happens every time now despite trying every possible way to hold the nozzle 2002 996 targa any help or ideas ?? thanks

POST 2Original post

Check fuse E6. There is a venting valve somewhere in the filler neck, and I've read that a blown fuse can cause exactly this problem. On early cars there was a problem with the routing of hoses in the tank obstructing the inlet, but it was sorted out in about 2000.

POST 3Original post

yep , like you my turbo would not swallow a full load. Until I turned the nozel side ways. After that , no problem but still need to listen for the ''full' gurgling sound , as the nozel does not always come off when she's full. What! that's how it works! Really. In truth try turning the filler so that the handle is facing the drivers door and the blow back will stop.

POST 4Original post

Same problem for me, but turning the nozzle sideways with it pointed to the back of the car helps for me as well.

POST 5Original post

Mine is ok and doesn't do that until you try and put more than 45 litres in when the gauge said it was empty but "they all do that, sir" [ ]

POST 6Original post

Weird isnt it, I used to have to do this with one of my new beemers in the past, would only fill up if I turned the nozzle sideways!
