Update: I took it to my mechanic, and he says it's a malfunctioning valve that is on top of the gas tank. The cost of a new valve is about $60. The labor to replace the valve is about 7 to 8 hours! :eek: Apparently, he has to drop the gas tank to replace the valve. I'll be selling this car when this is fixed. The fun-to-drive factor is just too heavily outweighed by the obscene cost of maintenance.

Thanks for the suggestions, Maurice. I did notice a flapper valve right at the opening of the filler neck, on the top. If I insert my index finger, pointing up, and move it in a "come hither" motion, [ahem] I can feel the valve move and I can hear what sounds like it might be a vent opening. I was hoping that if I tapped it a few times that would fix the problem, but no luck. I'm sure all of these valves and vents are designed to prevent gas vapors from polluting the air, but I suspect the amount of vapor that has escaped in the last day while I've spilled gas all over due to the failure of the system has far exceeded the amount of vapor saved during the total life of the system. Oh Well...

'02 Boxster S. When I try to fill the gas tank, fuel just splashes out the filler neck. The only way I can get gas into the tank is by filling really slowly, just a few drops at a time. It seems like some vent somewhere is clogged. I'm on a road trip, currently in Yuma Arizona. I'd like to get this fixed before this Sunday when I'll be heading back home to N. California. As it is now, it takes about 20 minutes to put 4 gallons in the car, and I have a long drive home! Is there a do-it-myself fix I can do in the hotel parking lot? Or can someone recommend a mechanic in Yuma or the San Diego area? Thanks!
