Need Help. Car wont accept gas.
I am kind of a newbie on here and I've searched all over the forum for help
but couldn't find any. Anyways, I pulled up to the gas station close to "E" to get gas.
Next thing you know, gas starts flowing out of the tank like its full. Its on "E"
which I am stressing but the gas has a hard time going down(most of it went to the tank).
Anybody know what this might be??

ALI SC3 just posted this for someone else with your same problem:
"If you over fill it once and I really mean just once like you described where the gas comes out, the charcoal canister gets filled with gas from the vent line and you will have all sorts of issues like that for a long time, and that gas also get sucked into the intake and can cause rough running. you may need another canister if thats what happened.
the fuel should never be filled to a level above the vent line hole which is towards the top of the filler neck. If you had fuel coming out your filler neck, chances are a good amount of it is in your canister now. if you experience rough idle or stalling thats what you will need to check. if not then you may be lucky just fill it to no more than 1/2 to 3/4 tank for the next couple of fills and see if it can work out. do not top off on cars that have charcoal canisters, it will just cost you more money in the end."
