Default Filler Tube Problem

I recently bought a 2003 Voyager. I have no problem fueling in St.
Petersburg, FL. However, when I tried to fuel up in Ft Lauderdale, FL,
the pump constantly kept shutting off. No matter what I did, I could
barely put in only a few gallons before becoming exasperated. I tried
a different pump and then tried a different gas station. The same
problem occurred each time.

The pumps in Ft Lauderdale (Broward County) have a round guard over the
pump nozzle that I think is a vapor recovery of some sort. But I think
it somehow is preventing me from filling the car. The gas stations in
St. Petersburg do not have this round guard over the nozzle and I can
easily put the pump on automatic and wash the windows or check the oil
when refueling.

No, the car was not running at the time.

I called a dealer in Ft Lauderdale. The service writer said he had not
heard of this complaint before.

Any ideas? What is going on and how do I pump gas in Ft Lauderdale?

Thanks

Tim

Probably because you were not using it correctly. It is indeed a vapor
recovery system. You push the nozzle into the filler neck of your car,
against the nozzle's spring tension, then lower the nozzle handle downward
towards the ground, then let the nozzle's spring tension push the nozzle
outward until it stops. THEN you begin fuelling!

Make sure you have the nozzle tightly sealed at the gas tank inlet neck or
this occur.
