SRBMW 6 Report post Posted February 11, 2006 Every time I go to put gas into my e36 and put the nozzle in and pull the trigger and put the lock on it keeps tripping the sensor like its full so I have to stand there and manually do it at every gas station. Does anybody else have this problem?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*RJ* 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2006 Yeah mine seems to be like this especially when close to empty. I only have the nozzel in one click and it seems to go. Everytime, without fail though, it fills up and splashes down the bumper - always give it a rinse with water and a wipe with the paper towels. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does anybody else have this problem?? Use the have this problem on my old e36... yeah .. put the nozzle in one resting hook and you _should_ be able to get full bore from it .. if not (as othrs have said) use the one click auto hold on the handle..Only way around it :/ go NZ gas companies for trying to re inventing the wheel again .. :/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grant 4 Report post Posted February 11, 2006 Mine is the same, I just have it on the outer most "resting position" of the pump, seems to be fine then. A bit of a pain in the ass, but hey thats life, I just live with it. Cheers Grant Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Napier_E36 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2006 Odd, I only seem to have that problem with the occasional pump - mostly its just biff the nozzle in and let her rip. However mine does seem to blos gas back out when it is full - as was mentioned above, rinse with water and wipe with paper towels... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
my_e36 43 Report post Posted February 11, 2006 Never have a problem with putting the nozzle in just by 1 rest hook and leave it lock onto first or second notch if the trigger. Sure takes longer to fill, but what difference does a minute makes? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jazzbass 1 Report post Posted February 11, 2006 Yep, both my E36s did that. PIA! I found Mobil pumps to be the worst. No idea why... I had to sort of hold the trigger in a mid position - could never put the nozzle all the way in, 'cos it'd cut the flow off instantly. The E39 doesn't do it, thankfully.
