    MY18 Prime. Low fuel telltale turned on yesterday.
    Tried to refuel this morning at around -20 celcius. Pump clicked after ~1/2 gallons. Coffee hadn't kicked in yet, I just reposition the handle and restart the refill at full speed.
    Overflow. Oops...
    I added about one more gallon, waiting for 15-30 seconds everytime the pump clicked. Took me 8-10 tries.
    I was right next to the dealer, so I stopped. They checked the codes (none), did an evap test (successful). Told me to use a different pump and to come back if the issue reappears.
    Last full fillup was in December. Car was parked indoor at most twice since.
    I'm curious to hear if anyone has experienced something similar.
    Thanks.

    Are you sure you didn't hit the fuel door latch? If you accidentally hit the fuel latch, you have to reinsert the fuel cap, close the filler door and restart the car to reset it. Stop it and try again.

    Wut ?!? o_O:confused:


    I'll be damned. Wow. THANK YOU!!!

    It's very possible I bumped it. Or as they write it that the nozzle boot did.
    It's also very possible that valve was simply frozen and didn't open.

    I'm very tempted to stop at the dealership tomorrow and show that page to them. I'd bet they're not aware of it.

    And mea culpa - I didn't read the whole manual. Damn...

    Thanks again.
