Problem filling the gas tank?
If you "fill the tank" then drive off and discover it's not reading full. The problem is probably the pressure relief valve on the tank. Solution:- Hold the gas pump nozzle UPSIDE DOWN. Seems crazy but it works. Replacing the valve is expensive, the tank must be removed.

Not expensive. $45 to not look like an idiot every time you fill up. Located at the evap canister...
That relief solenoid throws p0455 when it loses continuity. "gross leak, evap system"

Might trip the code based off pressure, not continuity, not sure. But damn, you're cheap man haha.

You obviously don't live up her in Canada, where so much is more than U.S. prices. I was quoted $150.
By the way ZCON2016 will be in Toronto. If you want details go to YouTube search ZCON2016

My problem is I can only fill 12 gallons. Would holding it upside down fix that issue?

I have a problem filling my tank to. But it's more related to my wallet not wanting to pay

Probably, seems like you have the same problem, with my car, it doesn't happen at every gas station, depends on the sensitivity of the gas pump.
