Thanks Captain Hook

there is no engine light today. I went to check it anyway. It was P0452. so the timelines are: 1. Engine light on. 2. then cannot fill gas. 3. next day filled gas with engine on. 4. engine light gone. 5. checked code P0452.

I found some info online for P0452 as well:
If the EVAP system detects a leak, it will report one of the following codes
P0452 – Evaporative Emission Control System Pressure Sensor Low Input

btw: a youtube video says it's ok to have the engine on and I did some internet research to make sure it's not that dangerous.

If the rubber hose is ok, rap on the steel filler neck with a small hammer or mallet, right where it connects to the rubber hose. If that doesn't cure the problem, you'll need to remove the filler to see what the problem is.

On the extended crank time... Check fuel pressure and leakdown as described in post # 10.

The P0452, the hard start, and the slow fill are not related. There are 3 seperate problems.

This one is stainless steel but brass is fine. Maybe try Lowes, Home Depot, or a good hardware store in the plumbing department: THOGUS Male Flare Adapter, 1/4 x 3/8 In, 303 SS - Stainless Steel Tube Fittings - 4HFJ2|TPC3017-5-G - Grainger Industrial Supply


Standard 3/8" fuel line will burst. You need to use fuel injection rated line. This stuff will handle 900psi and it's 18" long, should work just fine: Buy H B D Industries Fuel Injection Hose PI-504 at Advance Auto Parts

I think im going to dead end one side of my t adapter that came with my gas press gauge with jbweld and use it, then cut some efi line off a junker laying around here and use it

That'll work provided the JB Weld holds.
