I have trouble with putting fuel in the vehicle, it won't allow me to put fuel in at a regular rate I can only use a gas can or at the pump I must run it in at the lowest rate. When fueling the pump handle shuts off as if it is full even when I know it is not.I have replaced the evap. canster selenoid with a new one it did take fuel at a regular rate for a very short time 2/3 minutes. Its very time consuming and cant waste my day stopping to add fuel 5 or 6 times. Any help will be appreciated thanx Tim.

check for a pinched or kinked vent line going to tank. its' the small line by the filler hose.

Ok that would work but the 2003 model express does not have a vent tube thats wherebthe head scratching comes into play.It has a evac. canister silinoid why they add yet another part to fail never fails to amaze me.

then check for a blocked canister hose. I thought they had a vent tube as well as canister purge. also check for kinked filler hose. it may be the valve right inside tank for anti rollover as well.
