Anybody with Fuel Filler Neck Issues?

[helldorado]

Did a quick search and didn't find anything. Curious if anybody else has had issues with the fuel filler neck. Both my wife and I and at multiple pumps, have been having an issue filling the tank and removing the nozzle from the filler neck, it almost gets stuck. I was able to find a position where it started working, but that was after several attempts.

We're going to bring it into the dealer this week, figure at worst the neck needs to be replaced, but wondering if anybody else has encountered this? It's on our 2023 JLU w/ 2400 miles on it. Thanks!

I have issues where it won’t fill properly at some pumps. The pump’s sensor keeps getting tripped and the pump stops. Can only be remedied by holding the pump open somewhere short of full blast.

Super obnoxious, but not enough for me to take it in yet apparently.

I’ve had luck twisting the filler handle counterclockwise so that it’s close to parallel to the ground when pumping. But yeah, it’s a pain to hold it like that… luckily I have a 4xe with the smaller tank!

That was the same position I found that made it work, then it was just a pain in the ass to get back out!

I figure at worst, it's a feature rather than a bug, and replacing the neck won't fix it. But as long as we can get gas in there!

This works every time without shutting off. Just takes some aim..

slightly older thread, I just experienced this on my wife's new JLU but never had the the problem with my JLR. for a moment, i wasn't sure it was coming out!

shut's off if trying full throttle to fill, and sticks on the way out. hangs up somewhere.

I am still trying to figure out what is different. i may try the parallel fill next time. My aim isn't good enough for the toilet (so says my wife ) so the gas picture is out

If I insert the nozzle fully, it will shut off. 1/2 way in works fine. It is temperamental.

Glad mine and the wife's do not have this issue. Makes me wonder if the vent valve is partially closed for those that are having the issue.

@05/15/23. Noticed this on my first fill up, 2023 JLUR XR. 2.0 T. Thought I had a bad pump nozzle. Following.

Same exact vehicle. It’s not a major issue. I am just careful not to stuff the nozzle in all the way.
