#2309 of 2476 Filling tank problem by zillah Aug 18, 2007 (5:34 am)
When I try to put gas in my car, the pumps will never stay on. You have to continuously pump the grip. It's at different intervals when it stops but never seems to get a whole gallon in at a time. I have let the tank run very far down too in case it was bad gas already in the tank but that didn't seem to help.   I've tried three different gas stations, different grades of gas too. At first I thought it was the hot weather expanding the gas but then it has happened each time I've filled the car no matter the weather. One gas attendant said it was because something needed to be cleaned out and it would probably cost $700 in NJ but cheaper in NY.   Not only do I not want to get ripped off, I want to know what the problem is in case it's an easy fix I can do myself.

Replying to: zillah (Aug 18, 2007 5:34 am) I have a similar issue, but not exactly the same, with my '01 626 V6. I can put in all but the last gallon and a half with the nozzle on automatic. But, it shuts off early, and I can put in another 1.5 gallons if I run the nozzle manually. I've gotten used to it, but it is kinda annoying to have to stand there and "top off" the tank with 1.5 gallons. Your problem sounds like it might be related, but is much worse. Replace your gas tank, maybe ??

Replying to: twitme (Mar 02, 2006 11:22 am) Just in case anyone else was having this same problem, I found the solution. The fuel pump needed to be replaced. It wasn't a cheap repair, but my mazda is finally running strong. Replies to this message: pat (Aug 29, 2007 9:51 am)

#2316 of 2476 mazda mx6 by l3ehindblue3ye Sep 23, 2007 (6:23 pm)
Replying to: killroy (Mar 29, 2000 7:29 pm) I know this is a 626 forum but i just joined this website and im a little confused on how to post a question. THe 626 is very similar to my car so i decided to ask the question here. okay welll .... I own a mazda mx6. Recently i was told that my catalytic converter was blocked. My car has not been shifting gears and going very sluggish like at times i cannot get it to go above 20 mph. I was wondering if there was a quick fix to this because im about to trade my car for a honda prelude and i have to get it to the guy because we are trading cars. He is aware of the problem but at the moment i just dont think my car will make it there. IF you could let me know if there is any way i can make my car work for a short period of time that would be great. thankyou. Replies to this message: udienowk (Sep 26, 2007 5:19 am)

Replying to: l3ehindblue3ye (Sep 23, 2007 6:23 pm) two quick fixes... you can take off the cat and brake the silveroxyide screen that runs throw it- the best way is with a drill. or you could just drill some hole into the cat housing but, this could make it to loud to trade in. good luck with the prelude!!

Replying to: zillah (Aug 18, 2007 5:34 am) I believe you may have the problem with the tank vent hose or the carbon canister, or associated components. Have those checked.
