do you have to have no gas in the tank to do this?

I HAVE AN UNSTABLE RPM & ENGINE POWER LOSS.....WHEN I REMOVE THE GAS CAP, IT FIXES THE WHOLE SITUATION, HOW DO U EXPLAIN THAT??
Love your energy lol
Any time I have an issue and a Scotty Kilmer video is the first thing that comes up I do a little happy dance. Always to the point, always intelligently presented and entertaining to boot.
Yeah, all the shots to shots are something worth hearing. And this sentence was suppose to be a zinger about my attention span but I could not execute it well enough.
Dude, I know this video is 9 years old, but its exactly what I needed. Thanks man.
"The long awkward pauses." That's part of the reason I watch and what makes Scotty so great.
Hey, I like this dude. Doesn't sit there and bullshit around. Quick n simple.
Thank you for making these videos. I've just found them last night after watching a bunch of 30 minute videos taken with cellphone cameras, blurry image, not such clear explanations, and no video cuts to save time from start to finish... and then you come along and make these concise, descriptive and very informational and fun videos. This is some great work!
Did it work?
@@hector5749I think it killed him
Just realized I'm not subscribed... after watching countless Kilmer fixes! So thankful for you Scotty, best advice on the web! Anyone ever has a mechanical issue I always point them to you!
+Steph Hoovler thanks for watching!
Headed out to try and troubleshoot this now. It is so irritating hearing clunk after clunk and watching two - three cars fill up and leave while I am not even to half yet. Thanks for the videos, you are a great service to many.
did it work?
thanks Scott : I've gained more insight from you than the school of mechanics I've attended ...again thanks so much
One of the nicest and best personalities on CZcams and always knowledgeable. Thanks for your Channel always will support you.
You truly have the best videos. I always do a search on your channel before spending a bajillion dollars on labor at the mechanic. Some of these things are simple enough for a novice to handle but cost 100 bucks or more (usually more) at the mechanic.
Every time I have a car question I always search and find your channel. Thank you for making such entertaining yet informative videos.
Been having this issue with my truck ever since I got it a few months ago. Couldn't quite find the answer through a Google search then this video gets recommended randomly. Sometimes you gotta love the algorithm for helping you fix problems you gave up on trying to fix
Me too!!
Thank you!!! This fixed my car that I've been dealing with this for 3 years... AWESOME!!!!
Scotty you are awesome. We took an 8 trip to Kentucky and it was driving me nuts trying to fill up my tank going there and coming back. I watched your video and will be fixing it tomorrow. Much thanks !! Danny D
Thanks Scotty, Cleaned my Evap Cannister under the Gas tank on 2001 Toy Seinna Van used a can air blower & it did the trick!!! Thanks!!!
they may have messed with the coolant temp sensor for the computer, check that first. also check for vacuum leaks as in my video "finding engine vacuum leaks with a cigar"
Thanks for this. I figured the tube was clogged, but this fix seems a lot easier than i thought it would be. Just recently replaced my radiator, now i need to either clean or replace this, and i bought a new thermostat. I really appreciate the videos you make.
Did you ever try it out?
Awesome! Thank You so much. I LOVE it when someone addresses those problems that are hard to find info on.
Love your style bro! Most fun DIY car repair channel I’ve seen yet!
Scotty is right on about the evac canister hose. I have a 2016 Buick Verano and the first time I filled up the tank the gas nozzle would shut off after about 8-10 seconds. On the second fill up, I went to another station and the same thing happened. I took the car to the dealership and they did exactly what scotty does in the video. They ran compressed air through the evac hose cleaning whatever dirt/dust was trapped inside and now I have no problems what so ever. However, if cleaning the hose out with air doesn't work, the problem probably lies within the canister itself which may have to be replaced.
Hey scotty I just wanted to say man we really appreciate everything you do. Just wanted to say hi from colorado.
I just tried this on my 2006 Dodge Ram 2500, and it worked wonderfully. Couldn't get to the evap canister, so we disconnected the evap line just below the gas tube and some dirt fell out the end of the tube, then sprayed compressed air down that tube. You could hear the air go through it and then there was a soft pop and you could really hear the air flow after that, stuck valve in evap canister. After that I was able to fill up the tank as normal. The evap canister for this year is located above the gas tank and difficult to get to but the way we cleared the tube worked great, thank you so much for posting this video, you saved us a trip to the dealer and probably a lot of money.
Scotty,
I've looked for obscure answers to car questions on CZcams and more often than not, you've answered them. Thank you. 🙏🏽😁
Thank you Scotty!!!
Great explanations and videos! Very helpful!
And we love the Smoky Mountains & Moonshine!
😉
Thanks for the advice. Your Videos are fun and quick to the point.
Thank you Scotty!!! I've been rackin my brain, or whats left of it on how to solve my evac cannister problem. It apparently creats a "check engine" light. I went to my local CO -OP mechanic and he analyzed my truck the code as "Sumptin be wrong with the evac cannister". I said ok, can it be fixed or replaced, he said yes. After he cleared the codes, for the second time in so many weeks, I thought you better ask Scotty (YOU) what to do. I was also having trouble filling the gas tank, now I know why. I'm in a little TN town called New Tazewell, I've got a 04 Chevrolet Avalanche with over 200k miles. Thanks again, you saved me a slew of time and money.
Thanks for this video Scotty, I've been having problems fueling my 03 Hyundai accent for the past 2 years I will definitely try this out
I love this guy. I wanna buy him a beer.

Love your videos, Scotty! I have been shamefully driving a 99 Pontiac Grand Am SE for roughly 7 years. For the last 5 years, every time I put gas in my tank, my car struggles to maintain an idle therefore I have to hold my foot on the gas pedal to allow my car to idle at ~2,500 RPM for maybe 2-3 minutes before it idles normally again. After spending $800 in 2012 for a new fuel tank vent valve, evap canister, purge valve and valve near the tank, I still have this problem 4 years later. Only recently, it seems like my car's idle is only getting worse. While parked or at a stop light, I'll occasionally hear what sounds like two quick knocks, followed by my RPMs dropping, the car will rev itself a few times, two quick knocks, and then back to a steady idle. Recently after driving on the highway I came to a stop light where my car wanted to drive itself into traffic. I was holding my foot on the brake terrified while my car held 2,500 RPM, trying to accelerate forward. When I put it in park, the RPMs shot up even higher. I've never felt scared in my car until now and I'm thinking about "push, pull, or dragging" it in to get another vehicle, even though I don't think I could afford it.
+Kelly Hanus knowing those, the head gasket is probably starting to go out, or the engine is just flat wearing out inside, hence the knocking. Try my video "how to tell if your head gasket is blown"
Scotty I love your videos and saved me lots of headaches . God bless you!
This video really sets my mind at ease on this problem. Thanks Paul Schaeffer!
Finally some answers. I cant believe I missed this video after owning 2 cars with this problem. Mechanics here still have no idea what the problem is. Thet tell me even new cars have this problem. Im going to blow out my lines next fill up. If this is like every other time I have used a Kilmer trick it will work perfectly.
Did it work?
Nonconsensus Medicine ... Makes me wonder how dirt or bugs or anything gets into the tube. It's sealed inside the gas tank end and clamped on the other end... If the hose is plugged the rubber must be deteriorating on the inside. Bad hose. Also what about the check valve in the canister being stuck.?
@@hotrodray9884 dirty fuel
they are great vehicles, if you don't mind doing a head job, that's not a simple task. Many guys just put in a whole used engine, I had a customer find a junk yard one and they installed it with a drive out price of 1200 bucks.
Thank you! This completely explains why my f150 does this! Already ordered replacement canister and will air clean all hoses.
First off I'm amazed I was able to articulate what I was looking for second off your video was very informative and straight to the point thanks subscribed
For kicks at 3:07 play the video at 50% speed, lol.
smithraymond09029 HILARIOUS!
He's Drunk as a Skunk! that was funny
That was hilarious
Good catch! I'm dying lmao
🤗😂😂😂
Simple and brilliant! And all these years I thought it had something to do with a bad design by GM (I'm still not going to give GM much credit for other things, though)
all camrys sold in the US in 1984 had fuel injection systems and evap cannisters. They are the only ones I've ever worked on, being in Texas.
I always wondered what that canister was for. Thanks for the great info Scotty!!!
THANK U SO MUCH I DID IT WITH COMPRESSD GAS AIR DUSTER IT WORK GREAT VIDEO.
I've had this issue with brand new vehicles. I've concluded it's the poor design of the particular gas station nozzles. Some work great while others not at all and I have to hold it.
I have a brand new Honda Civic. I have exactly the same issue with some gas stations because of their nozzles. I hope it doesn’t hurt the evap system
Exactly! I even had to tell one turn the nozzle upside-down. Then the gas fully pumps.
Love yah scotty, you have been helping me for about 20 years
I know this video is old but thanks dad. I needed this
I have been slowly pumping for 8 MONTHS!!! Thanks, I am gonna fix this problem this weekend!!!

First time ive seen one of his videos. Subbed just for his personality. I want to buy this man some apple pie moonshine
I enjoy your sense of humor. Thanks for the great information.
Man thank you. Save me a lot of time trying to diagnose the problem now I know why my gas pump always shut off when refueling.
try turning the gas pump nozzle upside down, so the hose is above the gas cap, for some reason it works really well on some vehicles!
This actually works. My car does this. And I go to a place where they pump it for me.
And this is the only way it will work!
I tried that too, it works sonetines , but still shuts off
It takes forever to just pump 5 bux worth
I love my 94 Celica. I wanna buy her a beer.
how amazingly specific.. I thought this would be an obscure problem, definitely didn't expect a Scotty video for it.
Scotty, Just gotta say, YOU are AWESOME!! Your videos are Spot on, and always entertaining as well, no wonder you have so many subscribers!! I am subscribed for LIFE!! God Bless!!
fixed my car .. but just canceled the stupid EVAP, buy pulling of the tube going to the charcoal canister under the trunk

thank you scotty
Where can i get that moonshine from, LOL.

Scotty Kilmer please answer my car has been broken into 4 times in 4 days. Just got cheap cameras to record the criminals this morning woke up windshield shattered and rice, yes rice poured all the way to top of gas tank. How much damage can this cause? I have not staerted vehicle and have no problems with anyone here, its a bunch of punk kids just have no proof yet. Please help Scotty I watch all your videos. Rice in my gas tank.
Scotty Kilmer my car is getting mix fuel petrol into oil and oil getting black after 1000 kilometer , i am using mobil 1 5W 50 full synthetic, please do suggest waht to do my email id is faheem.ali@zias.com.pk
you can if you want, but it's often a giant hassle removing all the plastic crap and metal the hose hides behind. That tiny bit blown in the tank would not bother anything,the sock filter before the fuel pump would keep it out of the fuel system
Thank you sir! Perfect advice. The first step did the trick, but I intend to check the evap canister condition asap.
I had this problem on my then, brand new, 2005 Mustang. The solution was the hold the pump upside down. Ridiculous being that it was a brand new car. Car had so many issues within the first 6 months completely turned me off of FORD. Never again unless we are talking abut some classic rebuild project.
smithraymond09029 I know your comment is old but I'm curious. How could a 6 month old car develop problems? I've always assumed even the cheaper cars like Nissans wont show the problems till after a couple of years. What was happening to your car, share the story if you don't mind please :)
not nissans any more. Since they merged with Renault, quality has gone down off the cliff.
smithraymond09029 dude!!! I also have a 2005 mustang with the same problem
$cotty with a dollar sign because he saves me dollars! 🤑
So glad I found this video. I can't wait to try this on my Santa Fe.
9 years later and im watching this video now because my 2016 chrysler 300s is having this issue when i pump gas. Looks like I'm changing my Charcoal canister. Thanks for the video!
There was a lady at the gas pump next to me when I was filling up my car and she said I am trying to fill up my car and everytime i pull the handle it only put in a little at a time and then the pump kicks off.... She was putting in diesel lol

This happened to me but I was using the right fuel though. The Dodge Durangos are notorious for this.
I remember back when Super Leaded 105 octane was being faded out, the gas station I used to fill up my 73 Cutlass Supreme got rid of the Super Leaded pump and replaced it with a diesel pump. Being a stupid teenager, I just pulled my gas burning car, and just started filling up at the same pump I always did. About 5 gallons into the fill, I realized what I did. So, I cut the pump off and topped off the rest of the 20+gallon tank with super unleaded. Well, it ran, but it didn't run good, and the smoke it put out was crazy. I finally burned off the tank of diesel / gas mix and all was well. Of course, that was back in the day of forgiving carburetors.
Ouch :P
roughredneck 22 44 45 and it's funny because?
I wish people would do something about this here in Oregon, since we don't get to pump our own gas I got a job pumping gas and people flat out don't give a damn so we have to sit there for 10 minutes til they get enough gas to fill up their damn tank
Weird. Didn't know there were places that still do that. I get pissed after about 2 minutes and 4 gallons and leave.
Jason Maki I thought that was only in Mexico ...
buy they do it because some how people stole gasoline hehe wiers
Eduardo Garcia
You used to pay after filling up. Now you have to pay first.
JZStudiosonline yeah that's right
Know that you comment I was watching your video I have a 2000 Dodge Durango with the same problem
is it the same process???
"since we don't get to pump our own gas" -- stop voting for idiots who make these sorts of rules. That'd be a start.
You have a great attitude. You definitely earn a sub. Thanks for the content brother.
Had the exact same problem with our '80 Buick LeSabre station wagon...wish I knew back then. Great explanation Scotty.
You could also drive right over to the air pump at the gas station and fix it for $.50
how can I do?
Spray air into the 2 holes on either side of the filler neck.
Or go to a free place like sheetz
I'm going to whine and say that on my 2003 ford ranger those parts are not in the same place as your car and I cannot find them.
+R. Toney I have the same truck! Did u fix yours? I don't think it has a charcoal filter on a 03 ranger. The filler nozzle goes directly to the tank. Fuel wont flow fast into tank.
Check under the truck next to the frame. Of 01 ram has it there I bet ford and chevy did the same in the early 2000's
some pump systems have ultra sensitive shut off valves and do that.
it often is, but you'd need a dealer level scan tool to check it out to be totally sure
Just clip the hose screw the environment lol jk why dont they put the evap can under the car by the tank or something
Can having this problem cause the check engine light to come on???
thanks , I think that this is all that's wrong with my car now-
I had P0446 Evaporative Emission Control System Vent Control Circuit Malfunction
.maybe I have this problems right now in my Lincoln and I have no light on
thank you so much! this was very helpful!
I love you man. :) Always fun and helpful. I will try this on my son's subaru. Hope it works.
My car stop every time when I refuel and it's take time to start after the problem
Vinil Vijayan possibly bad purge valve. Is it a Mazda?
Sorry, when you fill your tank, and displace the air with liquid, the fumes do not go into the little charcoal canister, they are collected by the Vapor Recovery system on the fuel pump nozzle. Stored in a underground tank at the station, and returned to the refinery by the truck where they are destroyed, usually via oxidation. That charcoal canister under your hood is to collect gas vapors from your tank as you drive, and burn them off in small quantities by your induction sys. (That is also why you should never overfill your tank, as liquid will get into a system that only fumes should be).
well said and i can see the value of this. Thank you for covering this topic. unfortunately, I am working over this issue with 1985 f150 300i6. About to pull the bed again and revisit the filler hose and breather tube
Perfect. Thanks. Your entertaining and knowledgable!
Hi man, this explains it a lot! Thanks a lot Scott! I'll try this tomorrow!
thanks this has been the second time you saved my $......you the man.......thanks again.
Thanks, Scotty...best tips on CZcams...or anywhere else!
Scotty, I always watch you.... You are the best!!!!
Scotty, Thanks!! I am experimenting this issue with one of my cars, a Cadillac Catera 99,, its crazy standing there re setting gas pump,, all started to happened when I replaced the fuel pump, but some days it will work fine, when gas is high, others it will start doing it when getting half tank..
Drinking the good stuff! I love that shine!
I never thought such an issue existed. Thanks for the insight!
Thank you I had a feeling it had something to do with air or tube but 3 auto care told three different stories. I filled my wife’s car to full for the first time non stop. And we both have server arthritis.
Excellent info, I will try that because the problem was driving me crazy. Thanks.
You read my mind Scotty. I have this problem for the first time and the next day, you uploaded this video!
yes, often a bad evap pressure sensor, check that out at your local auto parts store
Scotty, You're awesome!! Keep up the videos
Always wondered about this issue....Now I know! Thanks Scotty!
I have replace both. I left the most expensive part last such was the charcoal canister . Yet same problem .I guess I will take it to get checked. Thanx a lot as well as for you great videos.
Yes, some cars are set up that way and topping em off can ruin that stuff, and ruin the cannister too
Looks like Steve Perry of Journey with Lennon glasses on telling us how to troubleshoot vehicles. Love it. Haha. Thanks for the video!
One of your best problem solving videos. (IMO)

PeaceOut,

Hi Scotty, thanks for your reply last time, my friend found it really helpful. I just have another quick question, I own a 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe and I noticed recently that it won't fill up correctly. The tank capacity that is says on the owners manual is 65 liters but I am only able to fill up a maximum of 32 Liters when the fuel light comes on. What would you suggest I do?
YESSS SCOTTY HAS A VIDEO FOR THIS!!!
Such a convenient placement, well done Toyota.
WOW! watched 10 other vids on this problem plaging my 03 Expedition... Several correctly indicated was a problem with the EVAP system... Some said just disconnect from the Charcoal cannister (which in my 03 , 5.4L , Exped is nearly inaccessible, under the spare tier between metal surfaces.... , and others just to disconnect as temp fix.... Yours was elegant and worked...thanks. Tom Jones, New Orleans, LA
Thank you for saving me money. Honestly dude thank you.
Great video! You're the first person who could explain why this is happening, so the rest of us un-technical people can understand. Thanks!
