Leading evidence: 'Run into this very issue last night' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'brand new gas pump' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Check #30, in the engine compartment' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suspected cause
I don't think it is my car so much as it was the brand new gas pump.

Suggestion
I would check #30, in the engine compartment before I changed the one by the front wheel.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2004 C4S, tried to put gas in her this morning. Would not allow any gas to flow in to the fuel filler tube. Kept spitting it back out. Gas tank was nearly empty. Any idea why it won't take gas? Thanks, Bob
The huge spring-loaded vapor recovery/condom on CA nozzles makes it worse. Insert the nozzle upside down &/or retract it away from the filler neck to ease flow.

I would check #30, in the engine compartment before I changed the one by the front wheel.
These are all in the fuel tank/filler area:

I had the problem with my 996... first ensure the metal flapper valve that pushes down when you insert a gas fill nozzel is working... it sends a signal to the tank vapor valve. use your finger a listen real close and push the flapper and you should here a soft "click"... what can happen is there is a short pencil shaped device up under the valve underneath the wheel well liner by the fill opening... if it is loosened or falls away from the flapper then the signal is not sent properly.
Nothing yet. Still need to use the gas I just got. I don't think it is my car so much as it was the brand new gas pump. They were all new and the two I tried wouldn't pump a drop. It wasn't due to lack of venting, it just wouldn't operate at all.
I went to the next station with older pumps and there was no problem. I'm just afraid that if it is the new fangled pump, eventually I will not be able to fuel up anywhere without some type of adapter.
Are you sure the fuse is blowing as soon as you insert the fuel filler?
I believe E6 handles the fuel door locking actuator.
Try locking the car with your keyfob, and then try opening the fuel door. Does it open when the car is locked? If not, then the actuator is malfunctioning.
I just ran into this very issue last night. 25 minutes to nickel in $38 in fuel. Most vexing.
Purchased a week ago and took fuel on Friday no problem. I DID attempt to �top it up�. Could this be a contributing issue?
Last owner warned me of the issue and stated Fuel Vent Valve was recently replaced and he�d hoped issue was fixed
