Fueling problem after cleaning Evap Vent Valve Filter
Blocked tank vent; evap canister causing overflow at filler?
Evap Vent Valve Filter
If cleaning or repairing the fuel tank vent valve and filter does not cure it then the updated filler neck may be needed?

Thank you Admin K Elite & Mod K Elite and so far I have found the vent valve is not open when there is no power to it. I'm going to get a new valve when I get my truck back. Took it in to get an alignment and they found bad ball joints bad idler arm and tie rods I did buy this as is on friday but it also had a state inspection sticker that was less than a month old. So the place I bought it at is going to fix the front end. I hope to get a lot of good imformation here on m y new truck.
