So I replaced the vapor vent valve (AC Delco #23481275) expecting it to fix my issue and unfortunately the problem remains. When pumping gas, I'm getting about 0.1 gallons at a time before the pump shuts off. For 20 gallons we're talking me squeezing the handle nearly 200 times.

Are there any other parts I may have overlooked? There is no check engine light or anything on the dash currently either.

Thanks in advance.

Yea frick that problem. 2010 and 2015 with the same problem. Finally got a 2017 ford and can fill up without issues.

Edit. Sorry I didn’t help but I tried changing the same solenoid as you as got no where. Had the dealership do some things only for it to return months later. They blamed it on me topping the tank which I had heard about after my 2010 and hadn’t done in years.

What year model? Most common cause of this in a Yukon is the vapor canister itself. It gets flooded with fuel and stops letting vapors escape, preventing the tank from venting.

Don't use aftermarket for this. I had the same issue, changed it twice in 2 years. Finally took it a shop and they replaced with factory parts and haven't had an issue since.

My 2018 Ram does this same crap. I have to half throttle the gas pump.

My 2014 Silverado has the same issue at some pumps. Pull the nozzle out so "just the tip" is inside the fuel fill and lift up on the handled to angle it as high as you can. This has worked very well for me.

I had an 06 silverado do this. I replaced the cannister and the hose (used heater hose and hose clamps). Just make sure the hose you replace is long enough / doesn't have any kinks

I have the same problem on a Tahoe. When you flip the lever to set it to auto flow, use the middle notch not the max flow. I find at new gas pumps is where I get the issue. I figured the new pumps are faster and cause the vapor lock.

Check to see if there is a fuss for the vapor canister. My Porsche blew a fuse....which I found only after I replaced the canister.

At a minimum its the vapor cannister. The cannister has a sponge in it that keeps the activated charcol pettets from entering the fuel line. The foam sponge degrades and the fuel lines get full of the small black pellets. You will have 3 hoses running to the cannister. One goes to the vent valve, one goes to the purge valve (on top of the engine), and the other to the gas tank. The line to the gas tank is actually 3 lines that merge. They will all be full of pellets. Mechanic will tell you that you must drop the tank. I recently changed mine by vacuming the hoses multiple times and running 400 lb mono through the lines. Compresses air will blow the pellets into the tank. Remove the purge valve and shake it to remove pellets, and then clean this line. (It will not hurt to use compressed air on the purge line if it is first disconnected at the cannister, but still use mono)This condition will not cause a check-engine light to trip.

Have had to change the vapor canister on a few GM SUVs for this same problem. Stop topping off when you fill up and you shouldn’t have to do it again.
