Gas filling problems on 2007 V6

Viesti Kirjoittaja Stang69 »

Hi there,

I have some problems with filling up my 2007 4.0 V6 when needed. With my driving style and the weight of my right foot it is quite crusial. I know the trick to keep or put the ignition switch in the on position. Sometimes it helps, but if I have some load in the trunk or the car is exactly horizontal or slightly butt-down at a gas station I can not fill her up. 1 or 2 litres when I'm lucky. Or it takes 15+ minutes.
Any suggestions? I know of the fuel tank mod from the manufacturer, but there should be an easier/cheaper solution, ain't there?

Thanks.

Translation (suomi > englanti)
"This is a solution! Refueling the ignition is turned on, the EGR pump is running.
In this case, gases are removed from the tank and you can refuel on the bottom TANK HANDLE charged. I have this in a few U.S. forums
mentioned but they still strength to grind here.
I've also noticed that the colder weather it is more difficult to fill up the tank"
Oh drag racing, I thought you wanted to race for real...

Thanks for your input.
I'm doing that and still filling up the tank is a challenge every time. Maybe I will go for the mod.fuel tank.
This hoping that filling up goes well is really ...
