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.

 

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?

 

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.

Problem solved

 

Good chance the ORVR valve is not closing. Your fix is a whole lot cheaper.

Good, that's what you're supposed to do. There was nothing wrong with your car. The EVAP was getting flooded with raw fuel and getting passed into your purge then into the intake. When you keep clicking and clicking the pump, you force fuel in where only vapors should be.

 

Now, under normal circumstances that might be true, but not in this case. The individual who answered that post didn't ask the right questions. He is a copier/paster mostly. Next time you're at the gas station watch people. Most people will stop after the first click. Others wil sit there and bang away. No offense to anyone, but it's usually older people and new drivers. I just stand there and giggle while the pump hose almost shakes out of my hand...lolz.
