Problem when filling gas tank
#5
I'm not sure what year your car is, but there was a TSB about this issue on some of the earlier G35's. It had to do with the faulty fuel filler necks on certain G35s which made it hard to fill the car all the way up due to the pressure return system not functioning correctly and tripping the pumps to shut off prematurely during the fill-up process.
If your car is still under warranty, you might be able to get it fixed on Infiniti's dime.

Filled my gas all the way to "F" for the third time since my DIY fix. Thanks to the recommendation's of other's. Also I always as a force of habit now set the pump to the slowest setting regardless of what station I use.

I'm not sure if the fix is easy. Every instance that I've heard of people having this issue resolved was resolved by them bringing it to the dealer and having them fixing it. If I had to guess, I would say it probably is a pretty easy fix for the mechanically inclined, assuming there is enough room to get at the fuel filler neck without dropping the gas tank... but that's simply a guess coming from a mechanically inclined guy.

Truthfully I am not that inclined. I just followed the DIY that was posted on this site. If you follow the pictures and easy instructions its no different than putting together a crib set or a piece of furniture that comes with a set of assembly instructions.
I would never tear into a motor, for example do a valve job or a piston replacement. Or even dare to open up a tranny. This in my opinion is no different or harder than installing a bolt on mod.

But to the other person's point. If its under warranty have them replace both fuel sending units. The filler neck mod in my opinion is far stretched and the chances of it being a defective gas tank is even more slim. These sending units from what I see from others as well as my own car were the culprit. If the car is under warranty put the labor and time on their dime. That way if it goes bad again they can honor the work performed and fix it again. Just keep the paperwork.
The reason why I jumped into the repair is because I have no warranty.

I noticed this if I didn't park the car correctly. As in too close to the pump and not right in front of it. I would have to manually have to hole the nozzle and re click the trigger multiple times until I would just give up. Now, that I have been parking at a good distance I haven't had this problem. I'm not sure if it was the pumps or what but pumping gas for me is not a pain anymore....*knock on wood*
