I have read quite a few threads on the forum dealing with gas pumps constantly shutting off when fueling. It has been happening with my 2013 FJ over the last month or so. When refueling, the pump shuts off every 2 seconds. it doesn’t matter what angle I hold the gas pump handle or how deep I insert it. The only thing I can think of now is that I over filled my tank to the point that I contaminated my charcoal evap canister and it is clogging up the venting process.
I live in South Florida and when Hurricane Dorian was knocking on our door, I filled up a lot of extra gas cans in case I had to run my home on the generator. When we luckily, (and I mean very luckily), escaped from being hit with the Cat 5 storm, I used the fuel cans to fill up my FJ for two weeks, filling it ALL the way up. Since then when I go to the gas station, the pump shuts off every few seconds when I try to fuel up. Takes forever to fuel up and really pisses me off.
If it’s the evap charcoal canister, it is not a cheap fix. Any suggestions or tips from the FJ community here???
