Gas Tank Won't Fill? Escalade Vapor Canister Vent Valve Solenoid FIX

[@brianshanahan3878]

YES, showing how to open that clip by PUSHING and not PRYING with a tiny screw driver made this video way better than others!!!

[@turboflush]

Push the button in while wiggle and push in connector.. they get stuck.

[@deankay4434]

The fuel tank vent solenoid is sucking dust. It is a simple valve open all the time, until an EVAP test is requested. Purge is the solenoid valve on the engine, with the "Green Test Fitting". During refueling, air trapped in the tank is pushed into the activated carbon canister. A pinched hose, filled with dust, other words are can't enter, it backs up. It is against the law to let gas fumes into the air, so they are captured in the canister. Purge is open to engine vacuum and pulls outside air thru the tank solenoid valve replaced in the video. The rectangular box on the hose next to the filler neck is the problem as dust plugs the foam filter under the cap the snaps on. A flat blade pocket screwdriver can remove this cover to clean the foam. If you drive on unpaved roads or live in the country, this will clog quickly. My suggestion it to remove it, place two small engine gas filters in a row to capture dust. This does not fix the problem unless you run hose to the front of the vehicle to get clean air, but allows you to save the fuel tank solenoid valve and just replace the filter. Finding a filter with a hose fitting to fit is the first. Small garden tractors to construction equipment such as a backhoe would work. Or find a fitting for a larger hose to small inside diameter. All vehicles, not just GM's have to use a similar system as for decades, metal lines ran to a round carbon canister on the left front inner fender. No problems back then. The 4 tabs on the inlet in if removed with be full of dust and the valve as well. Every 8 hours, then seals the tank. It watches a pressure sensor for loss of negative pressure on inches of water (H2O), the PCM closes the vent solenoid and opens the purge. This happens at highway speeds, If vent does not seal, it will have a small leak, save fail records. Then repeat later. Second test runs and fails, check engine light. “Check gas cap” message on dash comes on after first fail. If a large plastic fuel filter can be found with fitting for vent line, this would catch most all dust. Another shop uses a large white sock rolled 5-6 over inlet to block dust as they drive on gravel roads. A 14 foot hose could place the fuel tank vent valve inside the engine compartment. Easy fix, but that would cost, GM, Ford, Toyota and others $3 more per vehicle. We can’t have that!! The activated carbon is treated to expand, leaving thousands of microscopic holes in each. Fuel is captured as the tank is filled, providing it gets pass the “Anti-Roll-Over-Valve” inside the tank. The inside tank fuel pump bucket holds fuel so air does not enter if low, while making long turns like the interstate on ramps. Always keep a 1/4 tank or more as pump gets hot and you will get misfire code. Blinking 1 time per second means the catalytic converter while over heat. With the ceramic grid, the shell overheats expands, cracks the ceramic grid, turns sideways, rattles and blocks the exhaust. “Banana in the tailpipe?” Eddy Murphy reference! But looses power! The air inlet during purge and air exhaust during filling is the same line. Protect the holes on that end with a filter of some kind, problems stay away for a long time. Exothermic heating causes the carbon canister to heat up, with purge causes an endothermic cooling reaction as the hydrocarbons you paid for. Raw gas fume rise to 10k feet in the atmosphere and mix with other gasses plus sunlight to create photo-chemical smog. I can careless about smog. It may affect some but our smog is blown else where. Exact ignition timing, cam position for EGR, no lead for cat’s to work, carbon canisters, purge and tank vent valves are here to stay. It is a cross we all bare, wether we want it or even know it’s there! Another of the 2,000 reasons for that check engine light. All roads are not paved and wind blows dust into the tank vent valve inlet. Remember, the vent is open all of the time. So do something to help it stop causing problems in rural areas and farmers. Blame the engineers, the DOT and the EPA. Canisters were in the engine compartment since 1968 for cars, later for trucks. Seal belt were required in trucks by July 1971. PCV systems were required in 1964, no more draft tubes hanging down below the oil pan, OBD-2 was required in 1994 as OBD-1 was in California already. I had to know all of these things.

Wow, that's quite a dialog, and very impressive. Thanks for all that info.

[@AaronRiegel]

Very good description! Thank you explaining the system and why it works/fails and the origination of the required system

[@wild_for_nature9932]

What an awesome explanation. I'm on my 3rd vent valve solenoid in 2 yrs... Installed the newest one last weekend because the seal on top lost its seal and there was a hairline crack in the side. The next day, I went to fuel up and it stopped after 2.5 gal. Also replaced purge solenoid the same day (AGAIN. For the hell of it). Replaced fuel tank filler neck last month and charcoal canister this past spring. All parts are OEM. Smoke test shows no leaks and so far, the light hasn't came back on, YET. I know it's coming though. It's like playing a slot machine every time I start the truck.. Any suggestions? It's an 07 Avalanche

[@deankay4434]

@@wild_for_nature9932 On the fuel tank vent solenoid has one job, to shut and seal the tank when testing the EVAP when the PCM calls for it. It is timed based upon run time and tank levels between 90% - 20%. Above or below the test aborts. The vent solenoid is next to the carbon canister and has a flat side with holes in it. Remove it, pinch hose connector & twist off, disconnect wire connector. (I use Rock Auto to see photos of the vent in advance to ID, and see shape & cost) but a flat blade screwdriver fits under tabs to un-clip to remove this cover. Inside is a simple foam chunk with an inlet hole underneath. Modify it using any MacGyver trick to install a much better dust filer. (Note; This is for EVAP leak codes) Every area under this area gets dust. The engine gets gas fumes out of the canister an burns them. Plus, many use a "Roll Over Valve" inside the tank / part of the pump sometimes) but allows air out during re-fueling. I would put a better filter media in it, more of it, move it, fit with lawn irrigation hose and run it forward to a coffee can filled with foam like lawnmower air filter type, many holes in the lid, paint it black, hang it. (True, Decades, Ford used a blk coffee can for a vacuum canister) Just throwing out ideas, MacGyver style! In the 70's, 80's, GM used a round carbon canister by the left front fender on inner fender panel. Those never clogged! I knew a shop who wrapped it with sports socks as the drove on gravel roads.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Yes, there are at least 2 other problem areas in the evap system. There is an evap solenoid up on top of the intake manifold that is pretty cheap, and it's very easy to change. There's also the actual charcoal canister (rectangle box) that you vent tubes connected to, under the vehicle. If this canister is clogged, which is not uncommon, it will cause the same symptoms. You can remove the canister and try to blow it out with air, or even run water through it to clean it. Many will advise against this, but it is possible.

Thank you

[@Shoptoolreviews]

That is a possibility, since everything is in that are; however, it's probably just a coincidence in both happening. You could probably remove the charcoal canister and blow out the dust that is probably clogging it. This may fixe the issue, or it could require the Vent Valve Solenoid.

If you replaced the canister, did little charcoal balls fall out everywhere? If so, then the canister ruptured and those little charcoal balls are probably stuck inside your vent lines. Unhook it at the canister and unhook it at the instake/valve. Blow compressed air through and see if you push out the trapped media. Also, you can do this to the vent hose running up to the fuel tank filler neck as well. Sorry that you're having these issues.

Update: it's finally fixed. I had to keep disconnecting the hose on the engine at the purge valve. It was totally filled with charcoal. I had to drive it then pull off the hose and vacuum it. Leave it disconnected, start the car and Rev the engine, turn off and vacuum hose again. It took 3 times repeating that to get all the charcoal out of that line. Only then did it finally not stop at the gas station. Thank the lord this is fixed now, very annoying issue to deal with.

I might be wrong but isn’t that you’re changing the solenoid? The other side with the box is the charcoal canister.

Take it somewhere to get it reset or take off the negative lead on your battery and leave it off for a few minutes then place it back on.

@@tuliodourado8946 Hi I am in your same situation now. I replaced all 4 parts and my escalade still won't take gas. Did you solve your issue if so what did you do next? drop the tank? Thanks

[@iranpapabear]

I change the entire system and i Still cannot get it to work It still stops apart please help.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Did you also replace the solenoid that is up by the intake? If your evap canister actually came apart internally, you may have some of the small charcoal balls clogging the rubber hose/s.

[@iranpapabear]

Yes I had replaced that also so possibly their rubber hoses are clogged interesting

[@danniecarmona2509]

So that canister actually slides off that bracket that is held on by that 13mm bolt.

[@denver3032]

What codes will pop up if I need to replace this

[@EternalAmber]

will this work on 2015 suburban, or only older vehicles?

[@Shoptoolreviews]

I'm not sure about the 2015, that was the first year for the newer body style. This might be different. Thanks for watching.

[@samuelelberson5476]

I deleted and plugged the system, why is it still doing this? Thanks.

What was the truck you was working on?

This was a 2007 Cadillac Escalade. Thanks for watching.

I'm not getting a code but when I go to put gas in my cadillac escalade esv gas pump nozzle keep Shutting off

[@louishipolito3170]

Thank you so much I like the video

[@mrcee6512]

Would this be the same procedure on a 2004 Escalade? I'm getting code P0455.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

I'm really not sure on the '04. It's probably very similar, but not exact. I know a lot of things changed on the '07-up.

[@marlonperdue]

I'm have the same problem on my 2004. Have you had it fix yet

[@mrcee6512]

@@marlonperdue nope nothing yet. Replaced cap, vent valve, evap solenoid, charcoal canister. Still get the tighten gas cap message then boom and check engine light. Relentless ass code.

it might have other leaking part of hose

I changed all three parts and still same problem.. I need help

Did you ever figure it out? I’m having the same issue still

[@michaelgeorge4333]

Great I like your instructions!

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching.

[@hectorzuazua1305]

I replaced the parts and tried to fill gas after and started to spill back out through nozzle

[@Shoptoolreviews]

The charcoal canister may have ruptured, and you could have the little charcoal bits trapped in the vent lines. Many times, that can be between the intake and the canister. Thanks for watching.

[@dorothywade1277]

Great info thanks

Has anyone ever had gas leaking out of there purge valve solenoid.i haven't drove it in a week an I think the gas pressure in the tank pissed the case thru the canister down into the the solenoid

[@TankHandy]

Quick questions sir. So when I pump gas now in my tahoe. It spits it back up in my face with hella force. No matter how slow I go. It takes 30 mins just to get to half a tank. Took it to dealer. They said I need a whole new tank. Because the filler flap inside is broken. Any suggestions on what to do. I don't have $1,300-1,800 to spit out just for a tank and labor. So in lieu of figuring out myself. I took out the flap completely. And took out the screen that's inside the filler neck. Stuck a wire all the way down and there's nothing blocking the fuel from the tank.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Your problem is exactly what we're showing in this video, or you need to replace the whole vapor canister. It's not the fuel tank.

[@TankHandy]

@@Shoptoolreviews thank you sir. I was just confused as to I don't have a check engine code. Should I replace the part you showed on top of replacing the big canister block aswell. Or just the part you showed

[@Shoptoolreviews]

It’s really hard to tell. You can try just replacing the vent as I did in the video, but you may have to replace the canister as well. We had to replace the canister a few weeks after we filmed this.

[@TankHandy]

@@Shoptoolreviews got it. Thank you

[@Matthewsmacku]

I got the P0446 code on my 2012 Escalade and I replaced this and I still can’t put gas in it.

I replaced the solinoid....but still will not take gas??

The charcoal canister may have ruptured and the hoses themselves might be full of charcoal granules.

I have sugar clogged in tank to we're it stop gas from going into car help please 2004 focus

[@deankay4434]

Sorry, drop tank, correctly empty, clean with steaming hot water and rock back and forth to clean out. Replace fuel pump assembly (Plastic bucket or pump on a stick), replace fuel filter, disconnect fuel supply line at injector rail, cover with rag, using compressed air or nitrogen (Do not exceed 100 psi) blow line out while lines are disconnected. Get a bottle of “Chevron, by Techtron” at parts or home improvement store, add to tank. Purchase locking fuel cap with OBD-2 compliant pressures. Retired ASE Master Tech (cross fingers)

Is it age or something else that could make them go bad?

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Age and use. If you're in a dusty environment, that can contribute as well.

@@Shoptoolreviews could bad gas cause this as well?

Wow seeing so many issues in the comments. Seems like auto makers have over complicated the fuel tanks on cars these days. I am sure its some silly federal guideline. 🙄
