Thanks for the follow up!

I wish I had found this thread about 2 months ago. I tore my hair out trying to diagnose this issue. Through process of elimination I narrowed it down to the canister that has been recommended. There is a solenoid activated plunger that fails. I believe this opens and closes continuously to build up and release pressure in the tank. 12V applied should close the plunger. I picked mine up at a junk yard off an S-10 for $2.

So...new update: I put the part on, and I went into town and filled up my gas tank. took less than 2 minutes to fill up! :)
That did it. That pesky vent solenoid. Thanks for all the advice from everyone in here. It only took me 2 years to get it figured out! |
Yup...it's true. I had a lot of people (including automotive places) telling me that it was going to be a HUGE ticket fix, so I just ignored it and tolerated it since it was just a minor annoyance/inconvenience...except for the winters, that is.

The really funny thing is if you tip the fuel delivery nozzle discharge point down with it pulled out about 1/3 of the way the tank will take the fuel like there is no problem!
|
I had to do just that, however, that was the *only* way I could get fuel in, and it still took forever.
