There are lots of videos on YouTube of people with stuck fuel pumps. Most seem to be Fords. Even 1 news report I found about a stuck pump that required the fire department to come out to help remove it. So something is definitely up with these capless systems and certain types of pump nozzles.

There is apparently some flap inside the fuel tube that can get stuck on some fuel pump nozzles. I've tried to only use pumps where the nozzle seems to be perfectly smooth, but I've even had some of those get stuck.


I've had zero issues at our local Costco, so I try to use that when I can. But I'm not always on that side of town when I need gas.
