Will not take fuel
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

should be code PO452, just dont let it get below an 1/8th tank, mine does that too and i have a clothes hanger in case it does. There is a ball in there that blocks the fill tube if you flip the car over... and if you have a leak in the evap system (gas cap etc..) it will close the fill tube to build pressure in the tank and you cant get gas in the car... i know its kinda dangerous but i just push the ball with a clothes hanger if it does happen but otherwise i just keep it above a quarter tank
hope that helps

it will be a nightmare trying to find out where your evap system leak is, i bought a gas cap and a purge canister tryin to do this and ended up just blowin out the code and not lettin the car run empty

Thanks for the tip. I let it get to 1/3 tank and it still did it. Now to wash the gas off my legs.lol 
yes it will spew gas so i just do it before if i know its gonna happen, if you let the fill tube get gas in it thats when it spews but if your below a quarter just do it before you pump
