    Trouble filling up the gas tank

    This was a brilliant idea. Worked perfectly! Rooster, your solution for pressurizing the tank and letting it exhale did the trick! The vent line looked like the big black inmate in The Green Mile exhaling the bad stuff. Pellets flew everywhere, and after 3 or 4 times, it was totally clear. Also...

    Trouble filling up the gas tank

    Ha! Yeah, might be a good idea. Here is another question out of ignorance. Are the leads inside the canister plug interchangeable, or is one positive and one negative? If it matters to which one I apply +/-, how do I determine which one is which?

    That would be a smart move if I plan to keep trying to repair things on my own.

    Thanks Treehan. The only line towards the engine I pulled was the one to the purge valve. I don't know what the other one is. I'd happily check it if I had any idea how.

    Trouble filling up the gas tank

    Thank again in advance for any ideas. I should also admit that I am likely much more ignorant than the average person on this board, so please bear with me. I have a limited tool box and, but usually can find someone with what I need to borrow. I would also be crippled without youtube videos...

    Trouble filling up the gas tank

    First off, Rooster, thank you for that very detailed write up. I have a 2005 Tahoe Z71, same thing- hard to fill and get loud whistling noice. I changed the Evap Canister but no luck. Changed purge valve but again no luck (but I didn't notice pellets in there as some have). My next step is...
