This is the strangest problem Ive ever encountered. When I put gas into this RX it cuts the gas pump off after a couple of ounces of gas goes in......it takes 20 minutes to fill it up. We have tried several gas stations with same results....

All vents at the top are open, can't see anything wrong.

Anyone have any idea how to fix this problem???

Any check engine lights? On occasion i've come across several cars (a subaru and hyundai) that had the same issue. It was something either with their evap purge solenoid or other part of their evap system that was blocked.

Please give me an idea of where I might find this thingy....thanks for such a quick reply!!

Welcome to CL.

This has been addressed before and search should have found it for you.

There is a breather tube that connects the tank to the filler tube. This setup is similar to human mouth and nose ,,, just try gulping down a mouthful of water with your nose pinched close.
