Hi guys, had my EL for a few months now and really enjoy apart from 1 thing, and was wondering if its a common thing on all E series. Every time Im filling up and pull the trigger all the way and does that clicking thing like tank is full so I have to press the trigger gently to fill up witch takes forever. Is this a common thing and is there a fix for it. Does anyone else have this problem?

lol i get that too, it seems to vary alot between pumps too. Only fix i have found is pull the pump out and put it back in again and sometimes that fixes it, other than that just only half pull the trigger.

Mine does it too, but only about half the pumps. It is very annoying.

Happens to me too, but if I pull the nozzle out a little bit it'll be fine.

Never had this problem on my EL, but my old VS used to do it all the time :@ Had to turn the nozzle around to the side.

Tried all these things last night, and nothing worked. Oh well, not a big issue and nothing worth spending extra dollars over.
