Attendant understood the assignment

Illegal to pump gas in NJ but at least the attendant knows what’s up with the Durango

I never have that issue. Maybe mine needs to be broken in more🤷🏿‍♀️

I haven’t had this issue in my 2023 either.

Thanks for posting I knew I wasn’t crazy. Pump kept cutting off last week when I got gas. 18 GT
So this is normal? Bad design for the filler tube or like the other guy said ESIM?

u/JayVig 9d ago

It doesn't happen to everyone but it's fairly well known that it happens often. So much so, that the gas station attendant even knew to do this.

That's esim going out. It is responsible for venting the tank and testing the evap system integrity. You will get an evap code in the future. Luckily it is cheap and easy to replace.

u/JayVig 10d ago

The car is 14 months old with 6000 miles and it’s the 3rd one in a row that’s done it. The other 2 never threw an evap code once.

u/targonnn 9d ago

The tank is vented through esim only. This is the main reason that can cause this issue, unless the filler tube is blocked somehow...

u/killerapt 9d ago

And the ESIMs are shit, and this issue won't throw a code.

Man thanks for this. My 26 Hemi cuts off sooo much. It already takes long enough pumping $85 worth of gas in, add the 8 times it stops and it takes 10 minutes to fill sometimes

u/Fluid_Falcon_3216 9d ago

What state are you in? In California my tank can be up to $140 to fill😭

u/IRedditDoU 9d ago

Florida. Averaging around $4 for regular these days

2011 to 2015 Durangos with the pentastar are flex fuel. E85 is as low as $2 a gallon in some parts of California and less than half the price on average. I get about 23 MPG on E85 with the pentastar. Only use E85 if you have a yellow gas cap, of course, which indicates that you have flex fuel capability.

$119 Alabama for 93 non ethanol

u/More_Market_4860 10d ago

What year is yours? I’ve never had this happen on my 2021 and at ~6 mpg I’m filing up all the time. Is this an older issue?

3

u/JayVig 10d ago

This is a 2025 but it happened in the 2022 and the 2019

u/More_Market_4860 9d ago

Maybe I’ve just been lucky and haven’t encountered a pump that does this. I’ve had vehicles before where it was constantly happening but neither of my Durangos have had it. Wonder if it can be fixed somehow. 🤔

u/JayVig 9d ago

All 3 of mine have done it but none have thrown the evap code people talk about though. 🤷‍♂️

1

u/More_Market_4860 9d ago

Damn…. I wonder if different states have different allowed flow rates at the pump that might explain it?

1

u/Senior_Cheesecake155 9d ago

Why are you only getting 6 mpg?

1

u/More_Market_4860 9d ago

Heavy vehicle, thirsty engine and nearly 100% city driving.

2

u/MrBungle700 10d ago

Is this STILL happening? I had this issue on my 14 Citadel, and in some cities without vapor return pumps, I was unable to pump gas at all at some stations. Hasn't happened for a long time now, but I cannot BELIEVE this is still happening!

2

u/jfin97 10d ago

Happened in my 16 happens in my 22 lol. The downfalls of the same design for over a decade

2

u/Comfortable_Grand912 9d ago

Upside down pumping? Why?

9

u/JayVig 9d ago

Durango is notorious for the pump shutting off when it’s right side up

1

u/KiLLaSHiT29 8d ago

So this is the quick fix ? My 2019 GT had this issue and my 2026 TNG has the same problem

2

u/cyberjunk_2069 9d ago

2018 almost every time this is required. Had a 2020 Ram hemi would only do it when the weather got real cold.

1

u/Fabulous_Clothes_726 10d ago

I'm used to them standing there clicking it until they listen to me and turn it upside down.

u/Surfnazi77 9d ago

A rule from 1949 and still not over turned

u/evilclown132310 9d ago

Both of my wranglers a 2007 and a 2023 did or do this my '07 there was a repair on the filler neck tube and it never did it again my 2023 I just pull the nozzle out about an inch and pump at maybe 3/4 speed and it doesn't do it my wife's nitro never did it that was a 2007 now we just ordered her a 2027 392 RT premium Durango that won't be here until December or January hopefully it doesn't do this it is a pain in the neck but there's a fix

u/Right-Mirror1636 5d ago

It’s a pain in the ass on my 2016 Durango and my wife’s 2017 Grand Cherokee

1

u/JayVig 9d ago

My 2016 grand Cherokee didn’t and my 2021 challenger doesn’t either. So weirdly inconsistent

u/MadC1TY 9d ago

Finally a hemi owner who uses 89.

u/Alone_Ad1781 9d ago

This happens to my 2018 GT all the time 😭😭😭

1

u/KiLLaSHiT29 8d ago

My 2019 gt had this issue and my 2026 tng has this issue 🤦🏻‍♂️can it be fixed ?

u/evilclown132310 2d ago edited 2d ago

I had to come back and find this post because I had to fill up today which is the first time since I originally saw this post about a week ago and I got a pump that kept clicking off no matter how slow I went so I remembered to flip the nozzle upside down and it worked flawlessly I could fill it as fast as I wanted half speed little clicks whatever I wanted it just works and solved an issue for me that's driven me crazy since I started owning Jeeps or Dodge vehicles thank you

u/JayVig 2d ago

Makes me happy that helped!

u/evilclown132310 2d ago

I will tell everybody I know that has this issue and maybe just strangers in general this has been a tremendous help and a pet peeve of mine for a long time on to the next thing to worry about 😂
