Some Kia Sorento owners report experiencing difficulties when inserting the gas nozzle, which can prevent a full tank fill. These issues may stem from a clogged EVAP system or a faulty vent control valve, hindering gas from entering the tank. Additionally, damaged nozzles, air pressure malfunctions, and kinked fuel filler neck hoses can lead to gas spilling out during refueling. Reports also indicate problems related to the tank assembly that may affect the filling process. Ensuring the vent pipe from the filler to the canister is clear can facilitate faster filling, while diagnosing evaporative emissions issues may resolve the gas pump clicking off prematurely. Furthermore, checking the vent tube for any collapses, pinches, or bends can help identify and rectify the underlying problems preventing a full tank fill.
