2006 Chevy Trailblazer hesitates starting only after I add fuel

Maintenance/Repairs

Hello, I need HELP.

I have a 2006 Chevy Trailblazer EXT V6 Votex that hesitates to start only after I put fuel in it. It doesn’t matter if I fill it up or put in a couple of gallons. It’s been going on for some time now, but is starting to get worse. My fuel pump went out before it started, but I had that replaced and the problem still persists. Someone tried replacing the solenoid switch but this did nothing. When I ask, people are telling me they haven’t heard of that problem before. I have been to different gas stations just to conclude it wasn’t bad fuel, but still the problem is there. I have 193,xxx miles but I’m not ready to let it go anytime soon.

Any suggestions on how I can get this resolved are very much appreciated.

If you have a replaceable gas filter try that. Then another fuel pump.

Experiment 1: Drive home, park it, wait the same amount of time it would take to put gas in, then try to restart.

Experiment 2: Drive home, park it, remove gas cap, wait the time it would take to put gas in, reinstall gas cap, then try to restart.

Report results.

This might be of some background help.
