Typical fuel system symptoms owners report

  • Owners report a high-pitched whining or howling noise from the fuel filler neck while pumping gas, sometimes causing fuel to spit or spray back out.
  • Fuel overflows from the filler neck before the tank reads full, in some cases leading to a diagnosis of needing the fuel tank and fuel tank canister replaced.
  • Some owners describe the fuel sender unit failing to register an accurate fuel level, staying stuck on empty.
  • One owner reported vapor lock with air entering the fuel system, causing engine run-on after shutoff, hard starting, and an abnormal clicking sound.
  • A few owners note the whistling or spillage issue started at purchase and worsened or changed pattern over time, occurring regardless of how full the tank was.
