2000 C2 Coupe 6-speed: difficulties in filling the fuel tank

[Philip54]

It looks like I will need to replace my fuel door actuator. Since I will be working in that area, I would like to do something about the fact that I cannot fill my tank completely. I usually get between 3/4 and 7/8, assuming that the fuel gauge reads right.

I have read a few threads on this forum about not being able to fill the tank at all, due the failure of the tank vent valve. My case is different; I get a partial fill, but I wonder whether a partially failed vent valve could still be the cause for not being able to fill the tank completely or the problem is due to something else.

Thanks

Check your fuses. I had similar issues and it was a blown fuse.

To fill the tank fully turn the gas pump handle upside down to fill the tank.
