Auto lock gas tank

Asked by Kanaya1 Nov 03, 2018 at 06:04 PM about the 2010 Subaru Forester

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My Subaru was low on gas and an air bubble
got in the tank when I was filling it. The tank
automatically locks up so I can’t pump gas.
How do I unlock it?

I think your EVAP system has a fault which is preventing the air from venting. Is the Check Engine Light on?
