2007 Saturn vue won't accept gas.

Hi,

it sounds like there might be an issue with your breaks or breakpads sticking whenever you decelerate from high speeds. Try "pump breaking" or applying the breaks for short bursts of time in order to slow down to see if this dodges the issue. If so, I would still get the break pad or system checked while still mentioning the full issue to the technician. Thank you.

I had this problem before,try to back up nozzle.

Evap System Vent Valve problem

When the gas pump first stops do you try topping off the tank ? You should stop filling when pump stops ,your flooding the Evaporative emission canister .

possible blowen fuse or a bad sending unit inside fuel tank also check the connections at the tank

This does sound like a EVAP code was generated.

The fuel & vapor recovery is a sealed/closed system and the ECM runs a rather irregular test on the EVAP components based on a number of different factors. You may or may not have a leak, or just a faulty or loose gas cap. In the northern states, corrosion is a possible factor at hose & tube connections. GM EVAP valves do have a higher failure rate.

The cost is due to the need for a "smoke test"(pressure misting the system with a mineral oil based visible vapor) and likely pulling the tank &/or pump module to sleuth out the problem.

If this is the only code in the ECM, first try disconnecting the battery for 1/2 hour after filling the tank, inspecting & seating the gas cap. Keep the tank above 1/2 full. If the light stays off for 700-1000 miles or more, there may be a minuscule leak at a seal or clamp (in the absence of rust) that should not be a concern.

If this is the case, a week before your state inspection(and before several driving cycles) do the battery disconnect routine again to get the car to pass.

The primary fuel pump is located in the left side of the tank. If you fill the tank up and it still does not start then it is the primary tank. Problem is that now you will have to drop the tank with a full tank of gas. The primary pump is used to pump the fuel to the fuel rail, while the secondary pump is used to pump fuel from the right side of the tank to the left side. I usually replace both primary and secondary so I don't have to pull the tank again if the secondary is also bad.

Are you sure you have a fuel pump problem? What are your symptoms?

Take it back to the Saturn Dealer, it is still under warranty.
