Hello,

This happens when the filler tube collapse which happens when the car is in heated weather and the EVAP system vacuums the tank. Here is a guide to help you see what you are in for when replacing the filler tube.

You may need to loosen the tank and let it down a little.

Check out the diagrams (Below)

Please let us know what you find.

Cheers
