I recently got a CEL and I cannot fill my gas tank. I replaced the Evap control Valve (solenoid) PN 14930-JK20E up front on the engine but still cannot pump gas into gas tank without pressure building. I called Nissan NA and got a case number and they made an appointment for the diagnostic of the vapor tubing, which I will probably get charged because of my FI exhaust. We will see.

I also went to a mechanic- who tried to screw me for $650 for a new canister and purge shut off valve. He wanted 200 bucks and 98 bucks in labor to install the purge valve and $186 in labor fro the canister. Lol. Not today. I am going to do it myself. So here is the real issue....

my car isn't my daily driver, it has only 13k miles on it since I bought it in 2009...I drive it about once a month and stomp the Sh*& out of it occasionally. Why did my vapor tubing get clogged? And If my canister is bad, why? If I go to the dealership they have a few parts to possibly change that are not covered by the Extended Evap warranty (vapor Canister, Control solenoid up front, Purge Valve, and the pressure sensor located at the canister. Is it time or use that is making the evap system fail? To Be Cont........dreading going to the Stealership!!!!

I found this too...
