2013 GMC Acadia Noise When Filling Gas Tank

Asked by Guru8HRLK Jan 01, 2020 at 09:44 PM about the 2013 GMC Acadia SLT-2 AWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2013 GMC Acadia SLT that has a klank noise when I fill the gas tank.  When filling the gas tank, at any gas station, a few seconds before the gas pump handle automatically shuts off, there is a fairly loud bang or klank noise that seemingly comes from the gas tank of the car.  I can even feel it when I'm leaning against the car.  Everything works fine and the gas pump handles shut off like they are supposed to.  This is a relatively new noise and happens every time I completely fill the tank.  What could cause such a noise?

You might have a tank venting problem and the noise is caused by an outward expansion of the tank, that for whatever reason isn't affecting the pump handle shutoff prematurely. Google where your EVAP canister is and how to access it and how to check or clear the vent line.
