Fueling nozzle trips during refuel, at the same time, the "Service Engine Light" came up. Not coincidental. Did not see air leak in fuel tank though because when I removed the fuel cap after parking the car overnight (with car use the day before), the sucking sound lasts 10-15 seconds, so it doesn't sound like a gasket leak in the fuel tank. What is the best approach to solving the problem?

Answer #1
Visitor, July 11, 2011, 18:56The sucking sound is normal. It's actually vacuum/or vapor from tank. The service engine light might or not be related with the issue, Evaporation system problems. You need to bring in to a shop to have it look at.

Masterit sounds like a failed vent solenoid. it is supposed to be open when the motor is off for fueling. you need a shop with a scan tool and a smoke machine to verify.
