My wife's Barina 07 1.6 tx 5dr hatch has a problem getting fuel into the tank, when the tank is almost empty & is taken to be filled, pumping in the fuel in clicks off continually after only getting approx 2-3 ltrs into tank, its getting blowback somehow, I have had a camera put down to see if any obstructions ( none) have also had the anti-syphen stopper taken out, still no joy. Have had the filling pipe put in so end of pipe pushes fuel in a differant direction into ther tank, still no differance

can anyone give me any other options to try

thanks Garry

The most common cause of fuel spitting back when trying to fill, is a kinked or blocked breather hose. We have not had any adverse feedback about filling on this model, so it would pay to check the breather.
