On 2013 276BR. Have had difficulty getting fuel in.

Was told by dealer that new emissions it would be difficult to fuel up first time or two, but should be ok after that. I had problems off and on all season.

Hmm, didnt have any issues with mine (2013 276 CC). Its real easy to see the fuel inlet, so I guess give it a quick look and make sure its not kinked or bent strange.

Does it go in, but just slowly? Did you go to different marinas and the same outcome?

I wonder if your dealer was suggesting that 'you' had a learning curve ahead, or if there was some sort of mechanism in the fill procedure that needs to be 'broken in'?

if something like below, I could see that it may need some 'breaking in':



if a 'standard' neck that vents through fill, like below, then the trick is getting the nozzle tip a little below the vent intersection:

In my sarcastic and 'cynical of most things regulated' manner, I find extreme irony in a device intended to limit contamination of environments with a device that provides greater opportunity, and therefor actually 'promotes' spilling... go figure..

I will say I made sure that the nozzle was just about as far into the filler neck as possible, so maybe thats why I havent experienced any splash-back?

Drew, I can not agree with you more!
