| Cannot fill gas tank normally. with a 1/4 tank, there is back-fill that causes the gas pump to 'click' off as if it is full. other times, you hear the 'swooshing' sound of a back-fill, and gas has come flying back out at me while 'attempting' to put gas in the car - severe hazard!!! checked the code and sure enough, like thousands of others, voila - it's the evap canister vent valve malfunction... in this case, it's 'closed'. it can take up to 8 minutes to put 2 gallons worth of gas in, needless to say, vapor fumes are strong, and gas dribbles out. filling up this vehicle is a pain in the _____. it appears to be a well documented issue with nissan vehicles and it appears to me, nissan does not want to take care of this issue. *tr | |||
