This has just started in the last two months. I have had the truck since it was new. When I try to put gas in my 2003 Chevrolet S-10 the gas pump nozzle will keep clicking off no matter how slow I pump the gas in. The last two times I put gas in it, it will overflow even if the tank is empty. I take the nozzle out of the tank and the gas will continue to bubble out. I took it to our mechanic and he looked it over and could find nothing wrong.
Problems with the new purchase of 2004 Chevrolet S10. While driving something hit the bottom of the vehicle, possibly a stone. This contact entirely damaged the vehicle's gas tank. The consumer was advised by a mechanic that the vehicle's fuel tank wasn't an inch off the ground and was even below the frame of the car with no protection. The consumer is consumer about the safety issue of the tank being so low to the ground and not being protected by the frame. The consumer had to ride an hour and a half to obtain a new tank and was told that the one she purchased was the last one in the country.
Gas tank overfill protection. When you fill the gas tank on my 2003 Chevy S-10 crew cab it will not auto shut off the pump lever before the tank is too full and gas sprays out and down the side of the truck. Happens on every fill up that is not manually controlled.
I purchased a model 2003 Chevrolet S10 crew cab in December of 2002. Sometimes when I fill the tank it overflows, runs down the side of the truck and makes a spot of gasoline on the ground. It has overflowed many times since I bought the truck, using both the highest and lowest fill settings on the fuel pump nozzle. The dealership replaced the fuel tank, vent lines, charcoal canister, and other parts. The Chevrolet regional service manager said that Chevrolet will not do any more work on the truck. I try to fill the tank with the lowest fill setting on the gas nozzle, but sometimes it still overflows. I am concerned it will ruin my paint and/or become a fire hazard. I was told that the cause of the problem is that Chevrolet redesigned the fuel tank for this truck, which removed the vent line that goes from the tank to the top of the fill pipe.
