Odd problem pumping gas.. Anyone else have this??

[kenaiinaugust]

OK, When i'm pumping gas no matter what angle i hold the nozzle in it stops pumping as if it topped off.. I have to barely depress the handle so that it wont stop.. It takes forever to fill the tank.. If i listen closely i can here like an escaping air noise building till it stops..

Has this happened to anyone?.. any ideas?..

yeah, same thing happened to me. There's a hose on the driver rear side under the car that lets fume pressure exit the gas tank, in my case it collapsed. Check out the hose/tube, its one of the tubes running to the charcoal unit underneath the gas tank. I cut the the hose so that the pressure has somewhere to exit, not environmentally friendly solution but it worked.

Wow thanx.. I'm not sure what im looking at under there.. Any way to get a picture or description?... So its the build up of pressure that triggers the gas pump?

If you dont want to do that i used to pump gas yes i live in that state haha but if you get a pen or something like that and stick in under the rubber part that covers your tank so that it kind of breaks the seal it does the same thing they were talking about it just gives the fumes somewhere to escape.

I had the same issue...I' CPO had both pumps replaced in the tank and still had issues...so they replaced my fuel tank as well.
so far so good...but I doubt it will last. I will ask them to look at the charcoal fitler next.
