Will not take fuel
Anyone have this problem? 2nd time this has happened. 1st time I had to pour about 2 gal. of gas before gas tank would take fuel. This time It wont even take gas out of a can. Both times I let the tank get below 1/8 . SES came on and its a fuel vapor code. Thanks.

I've had a problem a couple times over the years getting fuel in from a station pump, just pulled the nozzle in and out a couple times, then took fuel. Sure you already know it's not nice to the fuel pump to let it get below 1/8. What's the SES code?

Have not checked it this time. Its been about 6 months from the last. Ill see if I can find out what code number it was or is. Fuel just fills the neck up and wont drain into the tank.

I've noticed a premature cutoff on the new pumps on several cars. If you compress the bellows and push down slightly at an angle it'll work (at least for me it does). I also heard you can turn the nozzle completely upside down too - never tried this though.

With a gas can slowly pouring it in..It fills the neck up and wont drain into the tank. One reply pointed me in a possible direction. Evap on fuel rail bad. Just the parts house does not know what it is. Thanks though.
