About a month ago I went on a trip and decided to put Lucas gas treatment to clean my injectors and ever since that day, filling up my gas tank has been a pain. Even when empty, while filling up my tank you can hear the gas come up and overflow all over the ground. I have to be patient and take my time filling up. I dont know if I broke anything using the gas treatment. Oh man the worst part is when theres a woman filling up next to me. They see me trying to fill up a seemingly full tank and think im just checking them out. Lol. I feel i need to offer an explanation. But thats even more creepy. Anyone know what I can do?

Wear sunglasses when you fill up so the women can't see your hungry eyes.

So an empty tanks results in spills? For example, you pull have 5 gallons on board and start pumping and 3 or so gallons in it starts to spill over? If so, I reckon you have a blockage of some kind unrelated to Lucas.

About a month ago the pump failed to click off and dumped fuel all over the ground and truck. I prefer that to a clicker that cuts off 5 gallons short of full though. Always try to pump at the slowest setting, even using my gas cap or wallet to slow the pump down.

Doesn't this mean there is a charcoal canister in the evap system that may be faulty? But I have to say your post was also hilarious!!
