My Burb has a 31 gallon tank as well.

What do the Tahoes have?

26 gallon

My Yukon XL owners manual says 31.5 gallons

When I had this happen on my Ram I just replaced with a junk yard tank. I used www.car-part.com to source. I actually had to replace again about a year later as that tank had the same issue. The second replacement has been going strong for about 5 years now. I sold it to a friend to get my Yukon XL.

Didn’t know that. But makes sense. Larger suv = likely more traveling

I only have experience with Tahoe’s and pick ups over the years. My vans the only one that came with the larger tank

Also going to have to monitor this as I didn’t know it was “a thing”.

2009 Tahoe happens pretty frequently. 2010 Suburban 2500 alternates between that and spitting up instead auto stopping when the tank gets to full.

Ok, so NOTHING I have tried has worked. Next thing will be to unplug the vent tubes and pressurize the tank to see if that works. If not, then I guess I will be buying a new tank. Or should I buy a used tank? My only concern with a used tank is that I could be getting right back into the same spot I'm in now.

Found a used tank locally, guy wants $25 for it. Think I may try that. He bought Tahoe from an auction and doesn't know anything about it. Probably just take the gamble and try it.

I'm not aware of any check valves in the tank. That is not to say there isn't one, I just have never heard of it or seen one.

Didn't know this was a thing. My 07 Tahoe does this, but only here in California with their stupid vapor return nozzles, and only at certain stations. Outside of CA, no problems.

Uh,.... Where are the vent tubes?? I had my '05 Yukon XL vent system re-done completely because of this problem, but sometimes it still does it..... ( I was at a Shell station last week and it filled up fine)

( So, the filling stops..... sometimes ..... ( Maybe it is the specific station??)

Beats me....
