ENGINE STALLS FIVE MINUTES AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK WITH FUEL. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME AFTER A FILL-UP. THE STALL CAN OCCUR WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. THE ROOT CAUSE IS DUE TO A FAILURE OF A VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK WHICH IS DESIGNED TO PASS GASOLINE VAPORS TO THE EVAP CANISTER WHEN FUEL IS ADDED TO THE FUEL TANK. DURING A COMPLETE FILL-UP OF THE FUEL TANK, LIQUID GASOLINE IS PASSING THRU THE DEFECTIVE VALVE INTO THE EVAP CANISTER. WHEN THE EVAP CANISTER IS PURGED, LIQUID FUEL IS SUCKED INTO THE ENGINE MANIFOLD, CAUSING AN EXTREMELY RICH FUEL/AIR MIXTURE. THE RICH MIXTURE CAUSES THE ENGINE TO STALL. THE ENGINE IS DIFFICULT TO RESTART BECAUSE OF THE EXTRA FUEL PRESENT IN THE MANIFOLD. *TR
