There wasn't one on my dad's old '90, my '97, or my '02. Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk

Yeah, I guess an air pocket trapped somewhere away from the filler hose could be the problem.Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk

I'm surprised I didn't worry about this already. I mean, I work for Rocky Mountain Power. Lol. Let's see, I put less than 5000 miles on my truck last year, so obviously I don't drive it much. However, I've made it a practice to keep it plugged in all winter. I did the math and am glad I quit plugging it in (for other reasons) last week. 750 Watts = .75 kW. .75 x 24 hrs x 30 days = 540 kWh. 540 kWh x $.13 = $70 a month. Ouch.

I guess the problem I have is that I see a lot of variables by only stopping at the first click off. The angle of the nozzle in the filler neck will change the height of the fuel that is required to trigger the nozzle. Also, unless the fuel station has variable speed turbines in the tank, the number of diesel fuel customers at a given time will affect the GPM of the fuel being dispensed, which in turn affects when the nozzle is triggered. I don't mean to argue, as it obviously seems to work for everybody, but I don't see how filling up until the fuel reaches the TOP of the filler neck each and every time wouldn't work. This method FILLS the tank to the same spot EVERY time. To say it doesn't is like saying filling a Pyrex measuring cup to the 16 oz line isn't giving you 16 ounces each and every time.Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk

I take the time to top off my tank until it's about a half inch from the top of the filler neck. That shouldn't be a problem as long as I use the same fuel dispenser the same direction, should it? Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk
