Default Two Small problems (filling gas, break light) that i need help with

alright. so i have to small problems that need fixing which im going to be doing this weekend and jsut want to make sure i get all the approiate parts.

Problem 1:



This happened to me a few months ago and im getting sick and tiard and want to get it fixed. it happened randomly after my bulb died. before it died it was fine but then once i replaced it with the proper double flint thingy bulb it does this now. also on random ocasions once every month when i turn the car on i get a rear burnt break light bulb warning. but once i turn the car off and back on again its disapears and doesent return for a while. so i have heard that this could be a grounding issue? but im not sure. if someone could let me know whats wrong and what needs to be done to fix it that would be great!

Problem 2:

my second problem is that when ever i go to fill gas i am never able to fill the tank in one shot. after about 5-10 seconds the pump stops as if the tank is full when it really isent. (i can hear the fuel come up as if the tank is full) This happends to me all the time and everytime i try and fill up the tank. at first it happened once and a while but now everytime i try and put gas in it, it does this to me reguardless of what pump im at. I have serched here and read that is it most likly the charcol filter. is this the case? the reason im asking is that i want to amke sure i get the correct part so i can get this fixed with the abundance of other things im doing this weekend. pulling the nozzle 3/4 out of the tank does not work anymore. reguardless of what i do it doesnet allow me to fill it properly

All help is apreciated and cherished by me

Thanks for the help,

Anthony

your second problem could be the vent valve, mine does the same thing but i just pul the nozzle out a little bit and it works fine. not sure about the light though

it could also be that more and more people are topping off, with gas prices fluctuating the way they are...... and when someone tops off they put air into the hose/system....... unless you are in an area where they don't use the black coupler on the nozzel...... then it could be what hi said
