^^ That might help solve one issue, but won’t solve the other.

Fuel nozzle clicks off when tank not full, have to repeatedly pull handle to fill. Fuel fill valve on top of filler neck may be bad, and another way to temporarily address is install $10 Porsche adapter available from Pelican and other suppliers: https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_In...assCat=Y&null=

Arrives in Porsche bag with no instructions how to install. Pelican website has instructions but missing key piece of info: https://www.pelicanparts.com/techart...stallation.htm

After installation tank filled normally without clicking off early, but got CEL and code probably because it caused a leak at gas cap. With a fair amount of force pushed adapter further down until notches on filler door side just above collar and notches other side just below. After that reseating, tank twice fully filled then properly clicked off, and 300 miles later no CEL.


Picture doesn't accurately show notch on right side just above collar, on left side just below. When adapter seated here tank fully fills before clicking off and no check engine light. Long-term will learn more about fueling system and determine if there is another problem to be addressed.
