Refueling is difficult

[mwillems]

Yeah, I’ve gotten used to it by now. Some pumps are worse, some pumps are almost normal. But once you’re used to it, it’s just one of those little things. It’s well worth it every time I start that car and hear it.

Been almost a month now, 8 pages...
Take it back to the dealer yet???

You could have a venting issue, or a filler neck issue, misbuilt tank, etc....

$60k car, it shouldnt take an engineer to fill the tank...

Just cuz others dont have an issue, doesnt mean your car doesnt, random systems get misbuilt all the time....

True. But still, you really don't want to mess around with 240v unless you know what you're doing. Our 120v system for the most part, will just give you an unpleasant sensation. 240v and it is game on. To create the microwave frequency for cooking, you need a lot of power. That's why microwave ovens have a nasty capacitor in them that will mess you up if you don't know what you're looking at. It's how they became countertop appliances without needing a 240v outlet. --120v with a nasty capacitor can do the trick.

Yeah! 120v will feel like a tickle. I changed an outlet this week, and unless you're an idiot, it won't do much. But err on the side of caution. Don't stand in a puddle. 240v, on the other hand, can easily kill. In the 1970s, I owned a condo with electric baseboard heat. I swapped them out for fan-forced wall-mounted units. I once forgot to throw the circuit breaker and got knocked on my ass. Thankfully, the ground was broken when I fell. I'm sure my wife wouldn't have thrown the breaker, even if she knew what it was!
