Filling up at gas stations ... hitting limit .. hate big tanks!

As the title states, how many have issues filling up at gas stations and hitting pump limits?
Sucks having a 38 gallon tank. I know the chevron stations have a 25gallon limit. Does anyone know a way around to avoid the filling limits? Does getting a gas station credit card raise that limit? Let's hear it!

 

Never had that problem yet. Most of the time I fill up right around 25 gals or less. But the stations around me have 100gal limits.

Where are you located?

 

I'm in CA. I know chevron has a 25 gallon limit here. I believe others might be a $75 limit. Either way, when I'm empty, I hit either limit!

 

Damn ya you got more to fill lol.

Yep, $100.00 limit here too. 2 card swipes to fill my 46g tank, no big deal.

 

Doesn't the business get charged per swipe? If so, it's stupid of them to have a limit.

 

Problem solved.........mount that in the back of your Tundra for long trips.....................

 

Just watch out for the low clearances.

 

I didn't know that. I used to get gas there exclusively in my old car, but I never had to put that much in. I go to Sam's Club for the Tundra.....way cheaper.

 

It's to protect them from fraudulent charges. Their insurance only protects so much $.

YES! until you have to fill the tank up... 10 swipes!

Sam's club is same as Costco right? Do they have a limit on their pumps>?

 

Yeah they're pretty much the same, though they do carry some different stuff, they're a members only "big box store". Not sure on the limit at the pumps, I don't have the xtra large tank.
I didn't know that anybody around here had limits on getting gas, but again, I've never had anything that needed that much at one time.

 

As a gas station owner we have our limits preset to $75 on debit transactions and $100 on credit transactions if your paying at the pump.

You can always come inside the store and pump up to $500 per transaction for debit or credit (register limit).

 

We do get charged per swipe but the limits are there just in case some crook steals your credit card and starts filling up everyone's tanks. The consumer is covered but we would loose our product and get a chargeback from the credit card companies.

If the credit card company sees several transactions at a gas station which is out of your normal behavior they will put a hold on your card just in case it's been used without your knowledge.

 

No limit in Oregon

 

Only place ive seen a limit is when I earn free gas on my giant eagle card. They stop you at 30 gallons.

 

Never had an issue around here. I do know when gas was up around $4 a gallon some people were having it shut off around $75 on a debit card, but I usually end up around $65-70 on a fill up.

 

38 gallon tank + CA gas prices = extra wear and tear on ye olde debit card.

I never let my tank go lower than half, so I have no idea if the gas station on base has a limit.

 

I'll trade tanks with you...

 

Haha that would get rid of my problem!!!

 

We'll meet half way. I'll have to stop 20 times to fill up, you'll have to stop 12 but it'll even out in the way home.

 

So there's no limit if you pay cash??

 

No limit at all, pull up your own tanker trailer and I'll be happy to sell you every last drop.

 

Well, there's your solution Mike... Cashola!

 

This is why I keep all of my credit cards near the limits
