No gas for the Turbo!!!
 

My friend called me today with a problem hes experiencing with his 03 turbo.. The car will not let him put any gas into the car! He says everytime he trys, the gas goes all over him. Didnt know if anyone knows why this is happening to his car?

Thanks
Cole

ugh thats embarassing , i had that happne to me .

What was the problem?

The fuel pump may not be in the correct clock position causing pinched line. I have seen/repaired this before.

Now how hard is this problem to fix?

There are a few possibilities, from a fuse to dropping the front suspension to get at the tank (as I recall). Search will be your friend:

Thank you guys for the help. Ill let him know tomorrow.

yeah.. i think it's the cell phone fuse.. check your fuses and do a search, it's happened to a few friends of mine.

Happened to me, there is a electromechanical valve inside the filler neck- check fuses, I want to say E6 or C6 something like that, replacing the blown fuse fixed it. I'll do some searching and correct if I find it.

Yep: Found it, here: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...into-tank.html

1. check the fuse (E6)
2. there is a valve in the fuel neck that sometimes fails (fuel bleeder valve)
3. there was an old TSB (TSB 5/99 2015) for fuel hose modification....but I don't think it effects your car.

That happened to me last month ,it was a blown E6 fuse in the fuse box right next to driver side dead padel.

From the majority that we've seen at our shop I agree....check valve in the filler neck.

Is that problem seen only in turbos?

I've seen it happen in some 996 and mainly 997s. Heard about it from a friend at another dealer on a Cayenne.

It happened to me also, I kept going to different gas stations thinking it was the
filler hose. You can open that filler neck valve with a long straight object (like
a wooden dowel, or an aluminum driveway reflector stem).

Then fix the fuse.
