Description of the problem | Fuel nozzle gets stuck when filling up at gas stations. I've had this truck a year and a half now and it's so frustrating. Cannot go to costco as it gets stuck and constantly clicks off, 10 gallons after thirty minutes! On another instance the attendant had to come out with a screwdriver and pry up the nozzle and yank it out! On a new truck? Seriously! It's a documented issue all over the internet, fca made the fuel angle too steep and not enough room to adjust once it's in the neck. I now have to barely insert the nozzle so it doesn't click in or seal against the filler neck, bypassing the epa controls and hold it so it won't get stuck or click off! So in essence to fuel up i have to pollute more, stupid! If in doubt check the internet for ram owners forums, it's all over the place. |
