Volkswagen Repair: Gas Tank difficult to fill - VW Cabrio 2000, oxygen sensors, cabrio 2000


Question
I had an Oxygen Sensor replaced about 1 month ago after the check engine light came on, and, since then, it has been difficult to fill the gas tank.  The nozzle shuts off too soon, and, even after I think it is full, the fuel gauge reads short of full.

Answer
Hello there, Sue;
There are several hoses, and lines that run along the bottom of the car, very near the Oxygen sensors, and the catalytic converter...right along the right side of the car, underneath.  My guess is that the carbon canister hose, or the leak detection pump hose got pinched, or deformed in some way, and it just needs to be straightened out, so that the vapors vent, and make it more convenient for you to fill the tank.
Hope this helps.  Good luck.
