2001 buick regal won't allow gas in gas tank

I tried toget gas at the pump and the attendant could only put in .08 cents of gas and the fuel was visible in the top of the gas fill hole and wouldn't let him put in more even though the gas gauge in the vehicle read 1/4 tank only

This question needs more detail. Consider trying to fill your Buick's tank by first putting gas into one of those red plastic gasoline containers. and poring from the red container into the car. Otherwise, bring your car to a mechanic.

You have a problem in the fuel pump relay circuit for sure then. I'm betting the relay, but it could be that dropping resistor.

SOURCE: 2000 Buick Century gas gauge reads full all the time

You're either looking at a short in the wire that goes to the fuel sender, or a bad fuel sender. If it was just a broken wire, it would read empty instead. The fuel sender is a permanent part of the fuel pump, so that has to be replaced as a unit.

How much gas is left in my 2001 Buick Regal when the chime rings?

Not keeping your fuel tank above at least 1/4 is asking for trouble. The fuel pump needs the fuel in the tank to keep the pump from overheating. Also, its just as cheap to fill the tank from 1/2 to full as it is to fill it from E to 1/2. The benefit is that your fuel pump lasts a lot longer with the pump fully submerged in fuel. If you think keeping the tank at least half full is expensive, wait until your pump burns out.

A few problems with my 92 buick regal. 1. Doesn't always start on the first try and I have to give it some gas when I turn the key. 2. Courtesy lights and chime won't turn off when key is ou

The no start on the first try could be low fuel pressure. The check valve in the pump may be letting fuel drain back into the tank, or the pump relay may be bad. The pump gets power from the relay when you turn the key on, then from the oil pressure switch once the engine starts.
How do you get the interior lights to go off ?

Every few cents the gas pump clicks, no fuel gauge

Could be the fuel tank breather is blocked.
Lots of fuel tanks are wide and slim these days and formed to fit the body profile so they have one or more humps that are higher than the filler pipe entry. It would be quite impossible to fill such a fuel tank if the top of the hump(s) weren't vented.

Because the fuel tank these days must be a closed container except when filling, such vent pipes would be connected to a branch of the filler pipe above the maximum fuel level to ensure the tank can be filled and to minimise blowback during filling.

My lights all come on but my car won't turn over doesn't make a sound or anything. What could the problem be?

I had a similar situation just this weekend on my 94 Buick Regal GS - it was the fuel pump (it wasn't 'engaging'). Unfortunately it was labor intensive (the fuel pump is in the gas tank, so they have to drop it to get to it), so about 500 bucks later, I have a new fuel pump, fuel filter (and, oh yea - a new battery, too just for fun).

2001 Durango acts like the gas tank is full during filling cutting off the pump. The only way to fill tank is to pump gas really slow

Chrysler and Dodge have a fuel vapor filter that allows air out of the gas tank but filters the harmful fumes. Usually the problem happens from topping off your gas after the gas pump stops due to the automatic shut off and then putting more gas in the tank (to make the bill an even $50. or to the next $5 increment, or pumping more in just because it fits). Anyway the filter gets saturated with gas, is not able to breath, and causes a vacuum in the tank. Because of this, the anti-siphon ball is not able to float around and sits at the opening of the fuel fill tube and won't allow any more gas to be put in (acts like the car is full). If you pump super duper slow like put a nickel to hold the gas pump handle, it will trickle in without a problem, but it takes forever! Solution, get the filter replaced and don't over fill the tank.
