Engine cuts out after filling up
I have a 2007 T&C Touring. It cuts out after filling up and, today, it actually died at a red light right after filling up.
The gas cap is securely closed (3 clicks after closing). Is there something else besides the gas cap I'm missing -- or is it time for service? |
when does it cut out on ya? any check engine light?
|
When driving out of the gas station, it will usually cut out after about a mile. Today I just happened to be at a red light at that time....then it died. A check engine light has never come on, though, before or after.
|
I just got a message from another forum stating that the T&C fuel tank does not cut off the fuel pumps quickly enough when filling up. Solution: If you have a 20 gallon tank, only fill 19 gallons. I'll see if this is a solution and reply later.

Solution
It worked. I only put in 15 gallons instead of filling up and the engine did not cut out at all.

Normally when you fill up, do you stop the first time the pump shuts off or do you keep clicking the pump to top it off? |

Problem solved :) |
Good chance the ORVR valve is not closing. Your fix is a whole lot cheaper.

I stopped filling up after the first cut-off. Ever since I've been filling it up (minus half a gallon in the tank), I have not had the problem again.
