Sorry guys if this is in the wrong section. I have a 2013 PIU and it's been great for a year or so. I went to fuel up a few weeks ago and it only took 6 gallons (I know the tank was empty due to my normal fuel usage) from empty and the pump shut off. Out of reflex, I hit the pump again. It popped the hose at the flesh air vent between the vapor can and the vent. Gas was pouring out. The vapor can was toast. I replaced the vapor can and first fill up it just went to six gallons from empty. I stopped at that point. I pulled the tank vent line off tonight and the new can was completely filled with fuel. One fill up and the new can was toast. No engine codes. Do you guys have any guidance. I should say that I filled the tank super slow by hand and it still shut off about six gallons from empty. I'm at a loss. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
 






A few members have had issues with spider webs blocking the fuel air vent tube. Not saying that is your issue though.
