Problems filling gas

[Dirt Rider]

When I go to fuel my 09 Tahoe it kicks the pumps out right away no matter how slow you try to fill it. Is there a vent that is plugged? We drive a lot of dirt roads and dusty conditions.

Something to do with your evap system… charcoal canister might need replacing maybe, its common on gm trucks..

Mine does it. I noticed that the lower I let the gas go, the more it does it. Try to fill up before you hit 1/4 tank...see what happens. Also try to pick a slower pump.

There were a few post regarding this and as Naks commented, there is an evap. issue. The problem occurs more frequently with those that try to top-off with the extra fuel rather than stop when the pump indicates. It does appear to be more common with these GM trucks than other vehicles.

Evap canister and/or the canister vent valve solenoid. The hose gets clogged up with dirt, and when the purge solenoid opens to suck the vapors out of the canister, it sucks the dust and dirt thru the vent solenoid clogging it up, and in worse cases fills up the evap canister with dirt too.
If that's the problem the canister is around 100 bucks, the vent solenoid with an updated vent hose is about 40 bucks from places like Rock Auto. Solenoid is easy to get to once you drop the spare tire, the evep canister is above and just in front of the rear axle. Hardest part of changing them is the hose connectors on the canister.

And I did this but noticed that if I run it almost empty it does it even with the new eval thing. My truck threw a code for the eval solenoid though
