Weird gas tank problem - 2001 Altima

Mar 25, 2005 0 Replies

Hi,



I have a 2001 Altima with this weird problem... I bought it a couple of months ago from the guy who services our other Altima. I trust the guy implicitly.



The problem is: filling up the gas tank is a chore. I get about 5 gallons in on a near empty tank and the filler hose fills up. Then I can only get about



1.5 gallons in before it shuts off again. And I cannot fill the tank up past
3/4.

My guy checked the level reading for the tank, says it's spot on, and checked that filler hose, or whatever it's called, was not blocked. He can find nothing wrong with the setup. He says his next step is to get an Altima gas tank and take it apart.



This is so weird, I'm not expecting many replies if any, but if you have any suggestions, please send them my way.



Thanks,



Lang
