[QUOTE=davanz;1609148498]Yesterday, I needed to refuel my new Stingray for the first time. It was a real problem because the nozzle would hardly let any fuel flow before shutting off. Even with it set in the lowest flow setting, it repeatedly shut off over and over. I tried multiple things, such as pushing the nozzle in farther, twisting it 90 degrees left and right, etc. Nothing improved the operation of it. I hope the problem was the dispenser system rather than a problem within my car, but I will not have a chance to try it again until I burn off a few gallons.

This was an issue wih my C6. It is not an issue with the C8. There is one pump that my car does not like and it repeatedly shuts-off before full. I simply avoid that pump at that station.

Anyone here have any experience with this or any ideas?
So, was the tank(s) full? Hard to add fuel to a full tank.
