So it has happened twice now that gas will NOT go into the tank on my 2001 Saturn L200. The pump immediately shuts off and gas spills out, seriously, $.20 into the tank yesterday. From some research I believe there is a kinked hose but where and why did this happen 2 months ago and then now after several fill ups between. The first time it happened the problem fixed itself after sitting for a day, I guess I’ll find out today if that is the case.
Any help will be very appreciated!!!

Do you by chance have a check engine light on? I saw this in a Suburban, the canister EVAP solenoid was stuck closed. Therefore not allowing the air inside the tank to escape and the pump thought the car was filled
I do, i’ll check the code, thanks.

This problem is usually caused by over-filling your gas tank, damaging it’s vapor collection system. There is also an “anti-spill roll-over check valve” that can close off the fill-pipe if it gets out of position (caused by over-filling)
