Default Trouble Adding Fuel after Evap Can Relocation

I did the DIY evap can relocation I saw posted in the writeup section. It basically included some hose clamps, elbows and 5/8" fuel line.

Everything went fine, and I never had any problems with engine codes. The problem I started having a couple of months later is its difficult to add fuel. The fuel pump keeps shutting off every gallon or so.

Any suggestions??

Double check for a pinched or restricted tank breather line. Or it may just be more sensitive now due to the added elbows and connections. If it's not sensitive enough to set off any idiot lights, then you may just have to learn to pump a little more slowly.

the problem is with your ESIM switch, its the white plastic part that is on your evap canister, check it for cracks/leaks, and check to make sure it is mounted correctly, where the electrical connection is on it needs to be in the 3 oclock position when you are looking at it. there are float valves inside it and if its mounted wrong it will not work correctly. I had the same problem for months and it wound up being a hole in my esim, replaced it for 10bucks and havent had problem since.
