Hello,
My 98 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport threw the code P0440 Evaporative Emission System back in November. After some research I checked the gas filler pipe and found it to be corroded with holes. I Replaced the filler pipe (and sensor near top of filler pipe). A few days later check engine light came back on. This time with engine code P0453 Evaporative Emission System Pressure Sensor/ Switch High.
Car seems to run fine, but, if I let the fuel level get below 1/4 to 1/2 tank I will sometimes have trouble filling the tank at the gas pump. For some reason when I start pumping gas it will "shoot" out the filler pipe (like the tank is full). I know the tank is low on fuel, but, for some reason pressure is built up inside and will not take anymore gas.
Before I drop the tank wanted to see if anyone has experienced this code/problem and get some ideas of possible causes.
Thanks ahead of time for the help!
