[alfa] Re: Milano Re-fueling problem



Chris,

I have the a similar problem on my GTV6. When near empty, I can get about 9 gal. in (about a half tank) before the hose shuts off. It helps some if I pull the vent hose on top of the tank loose during the reflill but not much. The inside of the GTV6 tank has (two vertical dividers and one horizontal divider making six separate fuel chambers. I assume this prevents sloshing and sudden weight transfer. I theorize that for some reason the flow from one chamber to the next is slow resulting in one or two cavities (the ones closest to the filler neck) filling and shutting off the hose before the other chambers are full. I don't have a clue how to cure it.

I have finally got my Project Milano on the road and have come upon a very strange problem. Every time I go to refuel it I have to hold the pump handle at a trickle or it will shut off immediately!
