Gas pumping issues

Alvinized52 · 01-25-2016, 10:04 PM

So I was pumping gas into my M4 this morning and when i was done, for some odd reason I had a hard time taking the nozzle off of my car... felt it was stuck in there for a while. This doesnt happen all the time but its happened a couple of times before. Wondering if this has ever happened to anyone else....

I noticed that the pump entry is in a slight angle.... but made me wonder if Im pumping gas incorrectly?!? Is there a safety feature in the F82 that does this that I may not be aware of??

Nothing special. Perhaps its the pump? My M4 behaves the same as any other car ive filled up.

I should add that the last gas station was a Chevron. 91 octane.

I hate it when my nozzle gets stuck.

I've noticed it as well. Hard to pinpoint what the issue is. Push it in and tip it before pulling out and you should be fine.

My last car had a very temperamental gas tank. Certain pumps wouldn't get past half a tank without constantly clicking. Drove me made.

I'm so happy someone made a thread about this. Life can be really hard sometimes.

Dinh335 · 01-26-2016, 09:31 AM

you have to buy the $2900 executive comfort gas smart integration package for easy pumping...

Sebenza · 01-26-2016, 11:24 AM

I think you can get the BMW Individual Cap for an additional $2k.

This has no bearing on anything. Different stations have different dispensers depending on when the station was built, not the brand.

That made me laugh out loud.

Dude, just got to apply the pull out method!

It's so much easier with driving gloves.

DavidGP · 01-26-2016, 03:33 PM

If you pump it too much and you get stuck, accidents can result. Be safe my friends.

I was reading a story about this guy and his Mustang and how it would only take 1/2 a tank and then click, click, click. Several others chimed in saying the same thing and it was driving the guy insane. Brought it back to the dealer and wanted to sell the car.

psedog · 01-26-2016, 04:53 PM

They had a TSB on it, but since I took it to Japan they wouldn't fix it.

Even my G35 had the same issue fixed under TSB

Having lived in Los Angeles for many years I can tell you that the countless regulations and safety codes in the state contribute to the worst fill-up experience. Gas pumps, nozzles, etc...with all the venting crap attached to them have always driven me nuts. Yes.....first world problem...
