I went to a Chevron station to top off my tank after a ride this morning. The Chevron had just been renovated and has all new pumps and equipment. I stuck the nozzle in the tank and the end of the nozzle bottoms out on the hump in the tank before the vapor recovery seal engaged with the neck. No matter what I did, I couldn't get the gas to flow.
CA (and some other states) have vapor recovery systems that also sense when the tank is full and click off flow of gas. They also recover gas vapor and won't flow unless the seal engages.
I just went to a different station up the street that had a longer bellows on the seal mechanism and filled up no problem. Won't go back to that Chevron.
Anyone else ran in to this issue?
