Brakes problem
2000 Toyota Camry 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

I have a 2000 Camry. Since Feb. Gas pumps will not stay on. I HAVE (NO) enginine check lite. I went to Inspection in NJ since this problem . They checked my emission. Passed. NJ is VERY strick. No problem
It takes 10 minutes to fill gas tank.
Many hits online, but all with engine check lite and codes. My car has no code. I had it checked.
I know it is something with the vent.
Any sugestions.
Doc.

i would make sure the vent is working properly and that the fresh air intake part of it is not restricted causing this problem. just because the light isnt on doesnt mean that there is not a problem

ok. heres a quick thing for you to try. locate charcoal canister and disconnect the line that runs to the vent on the gas tank and try to fill it up. let me know if it fills smoothly or not. also make sure your fuel fill hose isnt kinked or colapsing.

and secondly do you like to "top off" the gas tank every time you fill up or do it recently before this happened?
