I had the center console out today to install a Function-First and 997 SSK.

Later today I went to fuel up the car and it just sprayed back at me.
I feel I read somewhere that this could be a fuse blown somewhere?

any thoughts?

So E6 fuse isn't blown. Looks to be a bad Vent Valve.
I'll order one and replace it.

I'll try flipping the pump upside down to get me by but don't want that to be the solution.
I've been filling normally till this point. Definitely want to solve the problem.

thanks for the response!

If turning the nozzle doesn't work, your charcoal cannister maybe flooded with gas
