    Hi there guys. Im new to subarus and not much of a mechanic. When I fill the gas up the handle keeps stopping like its full even when its empty. I have to fill it slowly. If anyone can help me out that would be great.

    Sounds like your filler neck may be clogged. If I recall there's a small hole that allows for air to escape as your filling up. Look to see if there's any debris dirt etc.

    It would help if we knew what make/model/year your car was. Age of the car can make a difference as to what the problem may be.

    Well decided to reseaerch on google for the problem. it seems a lot of subaru's have this problem . I changed the drain filter and the vent valve. the charcoal canister filter is still in great condition and the lines also. It still has the problem. any input on this would be great thanks. Also checked all the rubber tubing and they were not clogged.
