Trouble fueling my tahoe...

[stevek]

I just took a 500 mile road trip, filled twice and had to stand there like a dumbass filling both times going at a trickle

Just went to the dealer, they're going to change something since there was some bulletin sent out. Said it had to do with venting out the fumes. It's getting done over the weekend/next week so I'll post the invoice once it's done - hopefully others with the same problem can go try to get their dealer to do it too.

Please post up the bulletin or the invoice if you can get it. The dealer around me said there wasnt anything and acted like i was an idiot. Thanks for the update!

There is a vent that goes from the filler neck to a fitting under your truck
This needs to be replaced

I think it was a 25 dollar part at the dealership

Took about 30 minutes to replace

My check engine light came on one day and had the codes checked it went back to this vent line

Once replaced no problems filling up

Will do. I'm dropping it off this weekend and am going out of town so it'll be 2 weeks

No kidding. Thanks GM Customer Service, y'all are a great help on the forum. Do us a favor and just send out a bulletin to the dealers fixing this. I took a service manager to the gas station and he was showing me how to use the gas pump and push down on the nozzle... then he cracked the plastic surrounding the filler hole. I'm not a moron, but apparently he is

Steve, just wondering if you had an update with the fueling issue and getting yours fixed?

Umm, GM has issued a TSB for this. Search the forum and you'll fine the info. I did this repair myself. It's cheap, it's easy, and it's fairly inexpensive. ~$70 iirc.
