86gav 69 - PSI Donating Members 263 Member For: 19y 8m 26d Location: Gladstone QLD Posted 25/04/07 07:55 AM Share Posted 25/04/07 07:55 AM Hey all, the ltimes ive filled up my T I have it has been a right royal pain in the ass. It just keeps clickng off all the time and it takes me like 20mins to fill the bitch. It seems to only do it when filling from anywhere above the fuel light, when the car is super low on fuel it fuels up fine. Anybody else had this drama or know where I should look to fix the problem?CHeersGav Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/34474-fueling-up-dramas/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 25/04/07 09:07 AM Share Posted 25/04/07 09:07 AM Get on your back and look straight up under the rear guard. The hose that you stick the pump into may be pushed up or something? The pump clicks off when the it senses that the flow is slowing. This can be from the hose splashing it back. Other than that meh!

Always stops though before it's full and takes a few more clicks on slow fill to top it right up. I no longer use that servo.Theo Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/34474-fueling-up-dramas/#findComment-525797 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fuel pump receiver hole on the xr6t is different to the XT in that there is less room around the nozzle when its inserted, so it has to vent properly.

If it is under warranty, get Ford to do it under warranty.

I was told by a servo attendant that if it happens, try twisting and turning the nozzle and the surrounding equipment around the hose.. it helped a few times Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/34474-fueling-up-dramas/#findComment-525930 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know how many litres it will take and then go manual before it clicks off.Some cars have a fueling sweet spot that you need to find. I did full driveway service for 7 years, so I am used to putting fuel in cars.
