I have 1300 miles on my 2015. I have filled up at 3 different gas stations. The pump keeps shutting off at 2 stations. I have tried putting the nozzle in as far in as I could, holding back the fuel volume when as it goes in (this works at one station). One station this morning I tried NOT putting the nozzle in deep (worked but gas spilled out right before it shut off). At the QT station, I have no problems at all but the QT is not on my way to and from work. I tried searching this problem, it’s there but I could not find it. Please help.

I had the same problem in our 2015. I found that the gas nozzle has to be exactly vertical in the gas tank to prevent continued shutting on and off during refueling. Hope that helps.

I had that with my C-6 at one station. Holding the nozzle sideways worked.

I only have that problem on pumps that have a full sheath fume recovery system, where the nozzle is fully covered. New pumps without the recovery system pump fine. (Including one station that just switched over to the new style; problems before, none now.) What kind of nozzles are at your stations?

I have the same problem with both of my cars. I found that placing the nozzle all the way and then bringing it back about a half inch stopped the problem. Some pumps have hair triggers I think and almost any back pressure triggers an "off".

occar

Yes. There are certain nozzles that do this. As others say, just pull it out about a half inch and it will work fine.

My preferred station just switched to the bad ones too. Bah.

There is a second valve about 3 inches into the gas filler neck. Push the first one open and take a look and you will see it. So make sure you are getting the nozzle to open up both of them up fully...

Mine (2014) occasionally shuts of prematurely. At some stations have to reduce the flow of fuel with nozzle trigger to get the car to except fuel.

I followed a thread on the 2014 C7 that advised to put the nozzle in upside down. That works for me every time. I find when the pump finally stops I can nurse in an extra 1/2 gallon. I had a problem with one of my cars doing a fill to the brim and got a check engine light. Advised not to brim the car. So far no problems on my vet or BMWs.

I am curious how much gas it will take when the gauge gets to empty.

On my 2007 Z06, some gas stations work with the nozzle turned upside down with the hose side on top.

Suggest the following. Turn nozzle at a angle 45 to Over 90 degrees. With nozzle at a angle upwords. Found this works. My local Mobil station I think changed the springs which cause a problem like you indicated with kicking the pump off. I cannot tell you why, but I think the springs are larger and the nozzle does not enter properly or far enough in. Give it a try.

I have learned that certain nozzles at the station I usually go to simply don't work in the C7, while others work every time.

HAD2HAV2

Wow. I'm not the only one. The gas nozzles ends have coils that keep you from pushing the nozzle end further. I’ll try the sideways angle next time. Gasoline is a very strong solvent. I wonder how the clear tape at the front rear fender wheel stands up to this if the gasoline spills. I try not to think to loudly. Love this car.

This just happened to me today and another C7 pulled up behind me and saw that I was having a hard time. He told me to just let the handle hang down and it worked.

We have driven our C7 in three road tours/trips this summer (5,000 miles) and filled the tank many times in U.S. and Canada).

I thought I was stooopid the first few times the pump hose stopped often while gassing-up.....then I simply placed the hose straight-in the
C7 fill-opening, pressed down evenly on the pump-handle, and I've not had a problem since (10-12 fills). Old age sneaks up on you.

Come to NJ, we can't pump our own gas. Problem goes away.

louloumax

I have had the attendants put the nozzle in upside down in NJ to alleviate the problem. Gas is cheap there also and most stations are pretty modern.

Meanwhile, back in Pennsylvania...

just stick the spout half way into the tank opening. when you stick it all the way in(sounds little funny..) then the knozzle will stop every other sec.

I have tried every trick out there, still have the problem.

Car will be going back to the dealer.

Try this:

Instead of pushing in as far as possible or holding it weird, simply put it in as you normally would, and push downward (very lightly) on the handle.

I was having this problem and realized that holding the handle upward makes it shutoff but holding it downward works like a charm at most stations.
