When I put petrol hose/nozzle in and pump petrol it spits it back out like it is blocked or something? Petrol tank is empty.

The fuel tank breather is blocked, run a scan and check for a faulty purge valve.

Hi Kerry Butler,


The tank has a check valve in the filler neck it sounds like your is stuck, you will need to remove the filler neck and see what happened. Please let us know what you found.

Best, Ken
