Thanks for the video! I replaced the canister first, clogging continued. Replaced the Canister switch, clogging continued! Thanks to your great description of the system, I was able to unclog the vent line from the tank. The vent line is the long one with the white connectors that is connected to the white fitting on top of the tank. I did not drop the fuel tank. I just disconnected the connector from the charcoal cannister, inserted a smaller hose attached to my shop vacuum and started sucking the charcoal bits ( about a cup of charcoal). Used my leaf blower to blow air into the tank thru the fuel filler as suggested by another viewer. Took me about 2 hours to remove the charcoal and clear the vent.

Dude, you are a LIFE SAVER!!!! 🤩😍🤩 I had never dropped a gas tank before, but thanks to your videos I was able to drop it and clear all of the evap lines and put it back together, and now I can pump gas into my 2005 Suburban Z71 5.3 Flex 😁 I am so frickin happy 😅 Thank you so much!!!!

Wow brother thank you so much for this video. I bypassed the canister and vent valve, by disconnecting the lines and went to the gas station and still had the same issue.

Had the same problem where I couldn't fuel my Yukon. Started by disconnected the EVAP canister and all the little carbon pellets fell out. So, I dropped the tank, cleared all the lines w compressed air and replaced the canister and canister vent solenoid. With all that done I can now fill up the Yukon perfectly. No more shut off issues.

If you live on dirt roads or very dusty environment go with the vent solenoid relocation option. Otherwise you’ll just keep replacing it. Other option is to wrap in with extra filter material and zip tie it around it. Then just replace that filter every so often.

i replaced all 3 and still got the code, now i've dropped the tank and going to replace all the vent lines, 2006 suburban 4x4 z71. i'll let you know if it fixes it. great video by the way. was getting sick of seeing all the other trouble shooting done with a $3000 scan tool

Damn dude you’re awesome! You’re the only guy that has videos like this!

I don't know everything! BUT the anti-siphon valve where the filler neck meets the tank is spring loaded and was preventing me from filling up my tank at full force. When I dropped the tank to replace the fuel pump at 160,000 miles I tapped the anti-siphon spring and plastic holder into the tank and retrieved it from the fuel pump hole. I was SO happy when I returned to the filling station and could then fill my tank with the nozzle at full blast. Before this I had to hold the damn nozzle barely open to prevent it from shutting off automatically as the filler neck backed up with fuel. I hope this helps someone. Send me a digital thank you if it does, it would make my day.

I was contemplating the same thing, that there was a similar device in the filler neck area that could be causing this issue. Maybe They (GM) designed that spring a little too strong.

If it binds when fuel hits it from the top instead of compressing the spring and flowing into the tank, that would surely slow down the flow of fuel.

Thanks for the video, although the orientation is different on the trucks compared to the SUV's, this still gave me an idea on how it all worked and did help me fix and diagnose my truck.

I have the same problem and I just changed the solenoid system. The gas pump clicks off so I use a home made aperatus. That's how it is when buying a used car. I will save your video for reference.

This is my next project. My car is hesitating at startup when parked for a while. It's also difficult to fuel. Sometimes it's also smell like gas.

If you've had carbon into the evap lines...you have to completely blow all lines out before replacing the components. Carbon bits get stuck in the lines particularly above the tank. Works best if dropping tank , remove lines and tap while blowing both directions

This is one of the best damn How To/DIY videos!!!! Got right to it!!!

I just fixe this on my daughter's corolla. It was a spider's nest in the vent output hose from the canister. It's open to atmosphere and just hangs below the canister. I dug the nest out and now it fills with no problems. Check this hose first before ripping into your system. This is a common cause.

This happened to me, so... I did all the things you said, it's a lot of work, but it does fill up normally now. Literally pellets everywhere.

I have a 2011 Suburban. You can hear the air coming up the filler neck and turning off the fuel nozzle. I can get around a gallon if each click of the nozzle. Where do you think my problem is? Valve at the engine? Or the EVAP at the fuel tank?

Hey, I have a 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan rt, and it has a fueling problem, every time I go to the gas station and start fueling, it stop at $10 and then stops every $0.10 to $0.50 cents. I think it has something to do with the charcoal canister. But no one was able to understand. I’m in Springfield IL. Where can I go to fix this and what is the problem. Also do you have any suggestions on what to purchase for a fuel efficient car, and under 110k miles and under $14k.

If my charcoal canister had gas in it ( came out the large port next to the solenoid port), do I need to drop tank and blow out lines. No carbon bits. 2005 Chevy Tahoe with 240k miles! Solenoid was full of road dust, since I like to take the backroads.

This is a great breakdown of the system. Thank you!!

What other symptoms would this issue cause? Any driving issues like a loss of power?

Great video. I can only put in like $8 before gas spills out. The gas station pump nozzle not clicking. But I don't know why my gas tank is refusing to accept more fuel? I've checked all hoses and charcoal canister. Everything is intact. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I have a 2005 Yukon XL Denali with this problem. It is not a “flex fuel” model. Are the parts all the same for regular gas systems?

I have the same issue, Is this set up the same a 03 Chevy trailblazer LT 4.2L ?

The small evap line, next to where you fill up gas, should that line have gas in it? Disconnected that line and some gas came out of it. I have an issue with some gas spilling when refueling.

Does evap cause terrible gas mileage?

Well they sure did make a fuel tank into a monstrosity all because of fumes and the damned ozone.

Codes coming up? If you suddenly have codes popping up, ask yourself this. "Has my battery gone completely dead recently or did I change the battery myself" If yes, drive your car through the manufacturer specific, driving recycling procedure to re-boot your computer. A lot of things can be fixed by just idling from a cold start for a few minutes while turning on every electricity item in the car. AC, rear defroster, radio, lights, etc.

If your going to go through the effort of lowering the fuel tank to remove the line assembly off the top you might as well use hot soapy water to fill the lines let them soak and then blow it out with an air compressor. I've used simple Green and hot water in a trash can overnight. And had great results. My other suggestion would be stopped buying all these replacement parts and just replace the internal filters. The solenoid valve has a pop top. Replacement filter source any high-density foam cut to fit. The charcoal canister has a pop top. Dispose of the fuel soaked charcoal. Go to the pet store and buy the pre-bagged charcoal filters. Fill the canister with the charcoal. Use a little RTV sealant to ensure that you don't have an air leak when you place the lid back on top. Do you not top off your tank ever again. Problem solved.

Thank you very much for being so informative.

One of the frustrating things that professionals have to deal with is cars that have already had multiple components replaced, yet the issue persists. Aftermarket components are usually inferior and sometimes bad, right out of the box! So a professional workflow takes a little bit more effort to verify which part is bad. If you choose to spend money up front and shoot the parts cannon, remember to hang on to and label your old parts so a pro can retrace the steps.

Awesome, so well done! Thank you!

Once the lines are cleared I would then replace the component in the engine compartment and the vapor canister, and finally the evap vent solenoid valve back by the tank. Your comments appreciated! Again, thank you!

I've been driving mine for three years with the engine light on and the p0449 code. It hesitates a little bit of takeoffs other than that I don't see what the big deal is. I was told to check my gas cap it seems to be okay. Also I didn't see if you said anything about the top of the engine EVAP like I have seen on other KZreads.

What more can we do to remedy this problem your advice is much appreciated Thank you so much

Good afternoon sr There was allot of good n awesome info A little too much repetition over n over n other then the charcoal pebbles U also do a most important n jet simple step Put air into the line from the gas tank to the canister if it has a back blow "kick back" it's bad " This will keep u from putting ⛽ in N the vent valve remains open unless the computer is doing a pressure test while running can n simply blow into it🙈 N very rarely the valve inside the tank can go bad as well Not judging Just positive info Good luck.

Im having issues as well while fueling but mine is spilling out the vent solenoid and it recently started to over flow out the filler tube. I replaced the vent solenoid, charcoal canister, blew out the lines but I'm still having fueling issues. When I replaced the canister it fueled normal for about three fill ups and then started having issues again. I noticed fuel was going into the charcoal canister and also sending it to the purge valve which I also replaced on the engine side which was causing it to run rough and throw a P0300 code. I cleaned out the canister removed al the fuel inside and blew out the lines andit did help it for about a day with the running rough issue but it seems like it starting to push fuel again to the purge valve and causing it to run rough again. This is on a 2007 Silverado 1500 classic. Any suggestion on what I should do next or what it could be?
