Diagnosing Fuel Fill Problems


Diagnostic Chart:




Problems associated with refueling the vehicle such as premature shutoffs of the fill nozzle or inability to dispense fuel at a high rate are related to two areas:
^ A blocked inlet (i.e., the fill pipe) or
^ The primary vent path is blocked or severely restricted.

Redesign of the fuel fill inlet and vent path was done as a result of Onboard Refueling and Vapor Recovery (ORVR) requirements (refer to "Theory of Operation - Fuel Filling and ORVR").
