2007 Tahoe wont fill up after a few repairs
It all started when my check engine light came on. The code read that I needed to do a few different things:
-Change gas cap
-Change Canister Vent Valve Solenoid
I did both of those and a new code was coming up:
-Change Canister Purger Valve Solenoid
The check engine light was still on and we discovered the Canister Vent Valve Solenoid was a bad part so we had it replaced. WHALA! No more check engine light!
But now here is the problem; I can only fill my gas tank up to $45 every time from E. But my gas gauge on the dash reads full yet the gas runs out fairly quickly so I KNOW that its only half full. A normal fill up on my Tahoe is at least $80-$90. What could the problem be? A broken gas gauge, is something telling my gauge its full when its not? Please help!!

if you are able to add more fuel after driving around for a few minutes after filling up, its most likely a venting issue...
