I have a 2004 XG350 with 107K miles. Sometimes when I try to fill the gas tank the pump shuts off repeatedly even though the tank is not close to being full. This is usually followed by a check engine light coming on. Has anyone else experience this problem?

Yes, I have the same problem. There is only 54500 miles on my car. It takes me 10 to 15 minutes to fill my tank with gasoline. I took my car to the dealer and they replaced a sensor duplex valve. That only helped by turning off the check engine light. It did not correct the problem with the rate of flow of gasoline. After approximately 180 miles, the check engine light is back on. I am calling the dealer for an appointment first thing this morning. I have no Idea what is the problem.

I have just experienced this problem - for the last two fill ups. I'm not able to get more than a $1.00 or $1.50 of gas before the pump shuts off. My husband was able to get half a tank by continually restarting after each shut off. The dealer advised that it might be the "charcoal cannister" which absorbs fumes and needs changing. That plus a "Vent Valve" would cost around $350 to $400. I have never heard of such a thing. I only have 56,000 miles on this 2002 XG350. Has anyone ever heard of this?

I too have recently begun to experience the same problem all of you have written about. I have a 2002 XG350L with 58K miles on it. The problem started about a month ago and has continued for the past several fill-ups. I have owned a good number of vehicles in the past and certainly I have never experienced anything like this. I hope you will keep us informed as to what your outcome is like should you take it in for service.
