I do have vacuum in the tank when I release the gas cap. It makes the hissing sound for at least 3-4 seconds. The history of the car goes like this. The prior owner had died when the car had 8K miles on it. It was left outside for 1,5 years with 5 gallons of fuel in it. When I purchased it and filled it up it would stall left and right. I got most of the fuel out and filled it up with some gasoline cleaning products 1-2 gallons. (octane booster, gas dry, gas preservative etc.) after that the car died only once. When started again it runs like a dream till now. 33K today. There was always problem with the fill up. In the summer it is less pain as the wussh sound comes out of the charcoal canister the pump will work till it fills up. When the temperature goes down to 20-10-0F it is a nightmare. max 0.5 gallon at a time before it clicks off. Then I have to wait and put 0.5 gallon more. so on so on. 15 minutes at the pump just kills me. THNX Roman

I have decided to change the coolant in my 300 awd and followed the instructions here http://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx300-foru...lant-diy-3.html I just can not find any info on how to bleed the system after I fill it up. On my other car there is a clearly visible bleeder screw. I just do not see it on this one. Search did not produce results. THNX Roman

It must be something else. I have tried several pumps in more than one state and the problem is the same on all of them. Same sound comes out like pressure is relieved from the tank prior to the tank accepting the fuel.

Hi to all! This is my first post. Have 02 rx300 with 29K on it. Car runs perfect. Bought it when it had 8K year a go. Prior to me buying the car, it was sitting for 2 years outside. Had some problems related to that- tires, brakes,some gunk in the fuel tank. Than there was that refueling issue. When pumping gas the pump just clicks off after 1 gallon. Second after I would hear wusssh sound from somewhere under need the gas tank, and the refueling can continue. Last week I was in Vermont and the subzero temps. just made the problem worse. It took me 15 minutes to fill up and the pump would just click off after every 0.2 Gallon. Now I know there is Charcoal canister down there, vent lines and fuel tank vent valve. I just have no clue where to begin. I know I can get the vent valve for $30 but have no idea if that is the problem. I need some help with this one. Now CELs. Any help is appreciated.Roman
