My echo is hard to fill with gas the pump just keep stoping after a few cents or the gas just spits back out checked the fuil filler neck and fill hosse that runs to the tank no blockage
Problem with the purge canister it's under the car on the rear that is connected to the filling hoses big problem with those cars. i just installed a new tank new hoses but put a second hand purge unit and my 2005 echo is spitting back and hard to fill. good luck

this is becoming a common problem, what is going on with your car is that as you fill the fuel tank you have to displace the air inside the tank( as the fuel goes in the air has to come out ) this is done by the purge system, as the fuel goes in the air is displaced threw a purge canaster the canster trapes any fuel vapers that are in the displaced air and as you are driving the car the vapors are burned by the engine, this canister is either pluged or the valve that opens and closes the canister is stuck so as you fill the tank the air can not get out so you get back pressure in the fill neck and this causes the pump to shut off, bottom line you need to have the purge system checked. it might be a bad canister or a bad switch could also be one of the hoses to the canaster, heres the bad news to replace almost anything on the system the fuel tank will have to be removed and that can be expenceve....sorry
