Thanks for watching everyone! I also recommend you check out The Survival Podcast. Even if you think that it's not your thing. I started listening years and years ago. I can tell you 100% for sure, if not for the community at TSP, there would be no Humble Mechanic show.

I really hope you make it as a full time youtuber!!! I love how easy you are to watch and your content is VERY easy to follow. good luck Charles and keep up the awesome content.

Hey Conrad, I have a 2006 Jeep Liberty, and sometime it the gas appears to overflow, but I mostly fill the car half tank. I see this is becoming a problem and I am not sure if your hit on it. I would like to know if you have any advice.

Only video I found that addresses this problem. Thank you!

This happened to me last week. I was worried about having to diagnose the problem for about a week until I tried a different pump at that same gas station. Filled my tank up without any problem. Stations have faulty equipment too.

You just became a hell of a lot cooler, in my eyes, by helping out the TSP community! Thanks dude. :)

I have a question. With a good fuel cap and good fuel neck, what else could cause a P0455 (gross evap leak)? Chevy 05 Classic (same as an 04 Malibu)

Today. I opened the filler cap of a 2006 Nissan and air pushed out and fuel started to push out next. I just replaced the filler neck recently trying to fix the fuel stopping previously. Any ideas there?

My 2003 Nissan Maxima is doing this. What I need to do?

I’m having a similar problem with my 1998 Dodge Dakota 3.9 V6. I was filling up gas and was giving it a little extra. Then before I know it, gas is pouring out underneath my truck. Not from the fill spot. Literally under the truck. Any ideas before I end up pulling the bed off to take a closer look?

Gotta love my '68 pickup truck. 👍👍 Two barrel carb and no emission, testing, passing or inspections. But it does get 8mpg on a good day. 😒

had a very similar Dodge Ram issue before and ended up being a pinched shut vapor line on the top of the tank not being ran back through its depressed channel and then made worst by the seriously over torqued hanger bolts deforming the tank.

I have the same problem. I've been figuring how much gas i need to fill up and take it off of autofill a gallon before full and slowly pump to full. My theory is that the nozzle shape doesn't fit down the filter neck far enough.

My 98 Nissan pumps slowly and does this if you try to pump fast, but I already did all the emissions stuff. I did notice that in most other towns with different sea level heights it will pump completely fine.

i have the same problem. its on a 2006 chevy colorado. i disconnected the vent hose to the evap. fill up arnt as bad as they use to be but this still happens and i cant go over 3/4 tank. if i connect the vent hose back to the evap system the gas tank will collapse as u drive the car. Any ideas on what this could be?? I do have a check engine light for evap with the hose connected

charcoal canister is bad or the evap solenoid valve is stuck closed

Oh wow, I've never seen that happen before. Great video as always Charles!🤙🏽

If you are always filling up to automatic pump cut-off, a flooded charcoal canister would be my first guess. Simple fix: don't fill past ~90% full for a while.

Thank you for the video! I have a question. What is the best way to ask? I was hoping you could give us some information on diesel gate. How the fix for the 2015 is working and any information on earlier years fix. I have a 2013 TDI Passat.

When I pull the vapor vent hose that connected to the canister, the one that says tank. There was fuel coming out my canister and the hose that came off. Please help

A lot of these newer style pumps are known to have issues. I have a diesel that has no evap system, no vents, literally like pouring into an open tank. Diesel pumps usually won't shut off until it's flowing out the spout. I used to own a '66 Ford Galaxie with the same style tank, the gas pumps did the same thing. Didn't matter if it was held wide open, or going as slow as could be.

my 82 k10 doesn't vent fast enough for the new pumps so I just pump slower and it dose just fine tho it would help if I relocated the vent from the side to the top of the metal piece of my filler neck so my vent tube doesn't fill with gas

I had a worse situation than this, it was a hot day like 42 or something, i was using my hiace 2006 to travel between jobs, and while trying to put petrol into my van as soon as i oppened the tank cap, it sucked alot of air then it squirted gasoline out like a hose, it sprayed all over me i ended up in hospital, so what I'm trying to understand is what has happened here, where is the issue ?

Never ever had this problem with any of my cars ever... but yet again I live in Europe and it's either pay the mortgage or fill up the tank 😂😂😂

Hello charles, my name is Mike and my question is; i have a 2000 VW Golf it burns too much oil. I've looked into it and i guess there is oil going past the pcv and im assumeing im burning all that oil. In a week and a half i will burn up to 1QT of oil don't matter if is good oil or not. I'm useing 10w30 and my car is a 2.0 aeg. How can i stop the oil consumption, please let me know. This is driving me crazy. Thank you.

My 2003 Ford Expy 5.4L spits fuel out when pump cuts off. I sometimes get code P0442 and fails evap test using my scanner. After driving there is sometimes a fuel odor when I exit vehicle. My fuel cap is not the normal one that clicks when tight. My cap has two notches that slide in a groove to pull tight like old school bulbs (I did replace cap anyway). I think it maybe the vent. What is your opinion.

Hey Charles I had one that had a pinched vent hose. Its a pretty big hose and easy to see. It runs right along the filler neck.

I have a Dodge Ram 2008. There was a service recall on my truck a few months ago and they replaced a pressure valve for free.

My 2000 Silverado 1500 wouldn’t take fuel for nothing. I disconnect the breather hose from the canister and try blow air through it and fuel just gushing out of the filler. It hush out just like the truck in the video. Please help!

My 2009 prius just started doing this. It has a bladder tank. No release. What do I do???????

I had something sort of like this happen to a 1997 A8 Quattro, except the pump didn't shut off. Can I blame this on the gas station? It only happened in one place once. My car smelled like gas for weeks after, someone said this could be from the fuel getting into the carbon cylinder.

My 99 cavalier I filled it up pump shut off and did the same thing but poured a ton of gas from the top of the tank what could the issue be

seams like a vent problem forcing fuel back up the tube my truck would do it only when i filled it from e it would make the pump kick off as well

Hi Charles, I accidentally drove while the fuel nozzle was still in it, a plastic part is loose (you can see it through the hole). Since that day I can't put gasoline normally, if I try to fill it at a high flow rate the pump stops and fuel is spilled, if I do it at slow speed it takes years and you will see that the fuel at the edge of the hole. Do you have any idea what can be the cause? Thanks!

Is it bad for a vehicle if some gas comes out of the tank like that one did but not as much

I used to work at a gas station and normally when I ran into vehicle with that issue, I monitor it to hear when its coming up then I unclick the nozzle quickly and do the rest of the filling process slow. it worked, but as a side mechanic things I've figured which could cause that issue are air in the fuel system, pinched lines, clogged lines especially the return lines and a dented tank.

I have a question my 2003 tundra is having problems to start after it has been sitting all night and I can't figure out what it is

I have this exact same problem on my 2008 Chrysler Town and County. It spews even more than in this video and slowing the rate of fill can get me past it, but it will literally take me 15 minutes to fill the 20 gallon tank! Not only is this time consuming, but I cannot use the lowest lock setting on the gas nozzle handle, so I have to baby it and tend to it the whole time it is being filled. This issue came up suddenly and happens about 90% of the time now. Also just a few weeks ago my check engine light came on and the code was P 0456 (ECM detects a very small leak in the evaporative system). I haven't gotten under the vehicle to diagnose, yet, but this video is a great start for what is probably going to be a lengthy process. Thanks for the tips. Very much appreciated.

I just overfilled my car today. Most of the gas is inside the tank, but I cleaned the gas that got spilled. Is it gonna be bad to my car?

This is literally happening to my truck right now! It has been for the past 3 months and nobody has been able to diagnose it until now!

many vehicles today especially pickups have a hose in hose venting system which allows tank vapor to exit the tank neck as you fill the tank. It will regurgitate if you over fill the tank.

This is a very common problem with Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep vehicles. It is pretty easy to find forums of Jeep owners that have this issue. Replacing all these parts won't necessarily fix the issue, as many jeep owners report. It's likely a manufacturer/design issue for that era of vehicles

My 02 avalanche is doing the samething. But its doing it on the top of my gas tank where the lines and fuel pump are located. Didnt know if anyone can help me figure this out. I think that my o ring in a gas line came out or is no good anymore. Even when im driving it and then park or stop at a stop light it still leaks

I had a evap valve fail on my V6 B5 Passat and it would flood the motor every time i got gas.

This happens with my ‘05 f250 every time I put gas in it. It backs up as soon as the filler tube is full which leads me to believe there is some sort of filter screen or baffle that’s restricting flow. I also smell fuel all the time.😭

I find I get this issue on my jeep, beginning of the summer it's fine, after being on several high angles it starts puking when I fill it, unless the last 5L or so is filled dead slow. I always figured it was the high angles produced by being off road that fills the evap canister. After parking it all winter it's usually fine for a bit.

My 2013 lincoln mkx is doing this. I have to fill up slowly. 😥

MOE . i had a 1982 RAM 3/4 ton. the tube from the filler neck top ran all most horizontal to the tank. the best fix i found was setting the nozzle at the top or bottom of the tube. cant remember which. and dont stick the nozzle to far in.

Okay so this is the second time its happened to me fuel poor out around where my fuel pump is seated... So what is cause that

I have a 86, e350 after putting in about a half of gallon of gas it starts flowing out also will not start now, cranks wont start? Anyone any ideas?

My 99 Nissan maxima ran beautifully til last week. I took it to Murphys and put 91 octane in, which it calls for. I’ve alternated between 87 and 91 and never had a problem, and believe previous owners did the same. This time however, when I opened the gas cap, the sound of vapor or air exiting came out and then I filled with the 91 and fuel came out when I was done. Since then I’ve had some knocking. I’m not sure if there’s a clog or I should switch octane types…. HELP

Great video mate. LED flashlights only for fuel tank inspection kids ! haha

this happens to me too smh & today the fuel spilled all up my arm🤦🏽‍♀️

Im having that same problem except my car is literally bran new and i took my car to the dealers i explain but of course the car only doesnt do it when its 5 gallons but to get full tank it clicks off they ran test they said its fine idk what to do at this point, its a 2018 chevy cruze

2007 Toyota RAV4 160K miles. rough on cold starts. wife says it doesn't accelerate well, I think it's a fuel pump. any other things i should check first. I've never had a fuel pump die on me but can they die slowly?

My 2001 f350 7.3L has this problem and the fuel from the backup tank is extremely slow to fill up with I flip switch valve

It happened to me with 1/4 tank on a diesel pump, the fuel was really pressurized and it spilled out 1.5litres, i am now all covered of diesel fuel and i dont know why

Have same problem with my 07 Jeep Liberty. Supposed to be a common and according to the forum. Jeep is aware and can't or won't fix it. Some guys have replaced the tank and inlet only to spend a fortune and have the same problem. Only thing that works for me is to fill as slow as you can. Hope you have better luck!

I have a 2008 Chrysler Town and Country. It spews gas way more than in your video. :-( I've been putting up with it for a couple of years now. It takes about 15 minutes to put 20 gallons in the van. I can put in about a half gallon at a time. Then I have to wait ten seconds for it to settle. If I don't, there is geyser of gas that shoots out. Pretty sure what you have said is my issue. Need to check the evap system. Also, I get an error code on my dash that says "gascap" every so often. I know gas cap is sealing fine, but there must be some kind of pressure sensor triggering this. Need to get to this soon. Very frustrating.

what if to put seafoam in the tank will that help unclog anything in the hose?

Thanks yeezus! This is exactly what happened to me. Good stuff :)

My 2005 Chevrolet Colorado has this gas issue. I need help.

I have an 08 wrangler and this fuel spray is crazy, I have learned to catch it b4 it happens,but it happens every fuel up. I just have to catch it in time or else it comes out forcefully like this guys. Just today I was filling fast and got distracted, not a pretty site. I want to just fix it , but don't want to just throw parts at it. for now though I just listen and stop b4 the auto shut off, check my gauge then fill really slow till my gauges is touching full.

Chrysler has an issue with the roll over check valves sticking open. Jeeps has a huge problem with this. They recommend replacing the tank because the check valve is "part of" the tank. I have been able to repair them without doing the tank. Saves people money!

Hi, I have a 2002 Honda Accord ex , I overfilled my Gas tank & i notice gas leak ,coming from up some where ,is there a overflow hose up , still tank is full,some time drip other time it is just wet there--where I should look?what could be wrong?

I have a Mercury Monterey 2004 it does the same thing I got to pump the gas very slowly so it does it spew on me

I just had a new fuel tank put into a 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe, and it's only been filled twice since then. Both times, it overflowed...looks like the same amount in this video. It never did that with the other tank, or in our Buick either. I can't help but feel it's related, I'm just hoping it's not actually a valve within the tank. It has a warranty, but I don't want to pay for another repair. I'm already up to 1400 in this vehicle this summer. Some people tell me to get rid of it now, but I've only had it since June. My brother left it to me before he passed away and I guess I'm not ready to let go of it. It actually ran better before the mechanic started working on it. He suggested a new timing belt...then screwed that up and " fixed " it to make it better, but it's still not running as well as it did before the timing belt change. It still bucks once in awhile and the check engine light keeps coming on. Two other things it didn't do before it's initial " checkup " with the shop.

I have the same problem on my 2004 ram 1500 HEMI please help me

i had few chrysler gas tank check valve stuck and a bad gauge "customer had his gauge at 1/4 tank and he/she was complaining she can only put few liters and it will spew back. turn out the tank is so full"

I replaced my evap can and it still does this. Will look at the lines again. Add too it randomly dies after refueling. No check engine light or codes...

Interesting that I have this exact same year make and model of truck and have the exact same issue. I have not read through all of the comments yet, but it will be interesting to see what the issue was.

Fuel tank sounds like my fuel pump. Whole thing has to be replaced when a valve goes bad.

I have a 2008 Ram 1500 that did exactly the same thing.

I had the same problem in my 2008 Dodge ram 1500. After $2500 later the dealership found what the problem was. it was the seal where the filler neck gas tank meet. so I had to replace the gas tank. after they install the new gas tank I haven't had any problems

Many Libertys have that problem. Source: My 2005 Jeep Liberty

My 2010 Ram 1500 does this too. Such a pain.

My 2011 ram 1500 does the same thing! So frustrating.

Wouldn't this issue fall under the emissions warranty? They are typically 8 year / 80,000 miles. I'm asking since it could be an EVAP issue.

have a geo the vent is at top of filler . station nozzle rubber disc blocks vent if u turnnozzle upside down don't spill also some pumps fill too fast varies at same station from pump to pump.

In the past i worked in a gas station and saw this on a regular basis. one thing that fixed some of the the customers " Before you activate the pump put the handle in the tank and try to use it a few times" sometimes when a previous customer tops off the end up flooding the censer or check valve trying to get up to that full dollar amount. this worked 16 years ago so take that with a grain of salt.

My 2007 Durango has done this for years. I just know how much gas my tank takes to fill at various levels and never let it completely fill to shut off the station pump.

This is still going on with my Nissan Titan every time I go to put gas , I switched the gas pump and the vent valve and has fixed nothing

From looking at his video he is using the second notch on the pump handle. I recommend using the first. It will fill slower, however it will be less likely to overflow. My wife had an 06 Pontiac Vibe with this problem. Using the slower setting solved the issue.

When I try and put fuel in the charcoal canister takes it spills it on the ground,Why is fuel going to charcoal canister?

You need to tell someone not to smoke around gasoline? No, no no.... survival of the fittest.

it's a recall on Dodge's the pressure relief on the filler is faulty happens to my moms Durango all the time take it to the dealer and have that recall fixed

also I'd bet filling up more frequently would help, can only imagine going from an empty tank to full would spit back more fuel than 3/4 to full would.

Something I noticed: This only occurs at certain pumps. For me the only pumps I have tested that this doesn't happen are the Shell and QuikTrip gas stations. Murphy, Costco, Valero and 7-Eleven seems to make it spew though.

This is what my Honda CR-V is doing but it doesn’t end. Like I could go out there right now, take off gas cap and it would start spewing out. It’s in the shop right now. $119 JUST to diagnose it. One thing I’ve noticed is no flapper valve door (little silver flap you know). Not sure if that’s cause.

I have a 2009 problem. Changed all the canisters. It spills out i slowly gas up. Been doing that since 85,000 miles on it. I still have the it has 250,000 still have the same problem. I think there has to be something in relation to the gas tank. Well i keep driving it. It has other problems as well. It starts when it wants to. But whatever its my 2nd car my work car.

I'd like to know why the old 2.0t FSI engines (BPY engine code) always clunk and clatter making them generally sound like a diesel on start up. My B6 Passat does it, my friends A4 dies it and so does his sister's GTI all 07-08 models with the same engine.

well if you own a 73-87 chevy truck your used to this... lol the filler neck is at a wierd angle and all of them do this, some screw up in the design

What if I did it the first time?

I have a 2007 Chrysler aspen 5.7 hemi with a 27 gallon tank and it does the samething always when it hits 18 gallons. No matter if i put the gas in fast or slow. I talk to the mopar dealer and some other shops and they never heard of it and want to run a bunch of different testing on it. I don't have the money to do all the testing on the vehicle that they want to do. I just got this vehicle about a year ago. Please help!!!

You can actually test all of this with a smoke machine and a vacuum gauge. Likely a vent valve problem. Check for codes for say a vent valve problem

Ok I have a Kia Forte 2013 4 door and what’s happening is my gas tank is on empty because my gage is telling me that the tank is almost empty and there is a orange light on it looks like a picture of and engine so now the light is on and when I go to pump gas it lets me pump like 1 or 2 dollars of gas and then if I try to pump more than that it spits the gas out like the tank is full and it’s not. Then when I try to pump more gas in it does not take the gas at all. So the mechanic told me that it is the valve in the gas tank that needs to be changed because the gas tank is not allowing the pressure of the nozzle to go in the gas tank without it spitting it out. So now I have to get a gas tank and put gas in like that

Man I'd be pissed if this happened to me. Thanks for the knowledge as always 👍

Had the same problem with my Durango. They ended up changing the entire filling tube. Something they knew was defective.

Thanks and yep your right I've been filling the tank to get the even amount
