I have not filled up for a while. When I tried to pump I barely pulled the handle and it immediately over flowed and the overflow wont go into the tank.

Sounds like something is blocking the fill pipe or the vent valve for the tank is stuck shut. Have you checked for codes yet?

Hi Jacob,

If you decide you would like to conduct the scan yourself here is a link to an article that features written step by step instructions and pictures explaining how to do the scan yourself, also I have included a link to our YouTube channel with a how to video on code scanning. Most scanners are inexpensive to purchase, you can purchase one online from sites like Amazon.com

Once you have the codes please get back to us so that we can further assist you. We are always happy to help.

Thank you for visiting 2CarPros.com.

Kindest regards,
Renee
