Tom...

 

I have had the same problem with my syncro and have posted it to the = list, but no one ever responds... I figured I was the only one with the = problem.  It fills about 3/4 of the way as you said and then clicks off... = further attempts to fill make it click off immediately.  But I can fill = it if I go excruciatingly slowly... so slowly you can count the pennies go = by.  Takes forever.  With an attendant I can imagine it's even a worse = headache. 

 

Anybody have any = suggestions?

Garsh, my first = posting!

 

I have an '87 Westy Synchro and if = I don't tell the attendant to top it off, I wind up with 3/4 or less of a tank full.  I don't do it myself because Oregon has laws against self-serve  (Suicide is legal here, but pumping our own gas is not).

 

Is this a known = problem?
