Fuel fill issues

[ghindman]

My 2021 Crosstrek seems to have mechanical issues when filling with gas - it never seems like I get a super positive connection and sometimes it takes a couple of tries for the fume boot to pull a vacuum properly. Twice I've had the pump handle jetison itself out of the filler when the fume boot vacuum releases, and this morning had a bunch of fuel pool around the boot. I've been filling tanks for almost 50 years and never had this problem on another vehicle - anyone else have this problem?

Is the problem always at the same gas station or pump? It might be an issue with the pump sensors rather than your Subaru. Try a different gas station and /or pump and see if the problem goes away. If it does, be sure to report to the station manager the issue so they can fix it.

Not the same station, no, but thanks
