Evaporative Control System Problems occur when your fuel tank is overfilled and/or gas flows into the EVAP line. A defective refuel and/or fuel cutoff valve prevents fuel from flowing and the refuel valve triggers the gas pump to stop, causing the car to stall.

Why wont my car start after I run out of gas?
What Happens to a Car When You Run Out of Fuel? When the tank's left to run completely empty, the engine will start to draw in air along with the last dregs of fuel. This air could stop the engine from starting again, as it throws the fuel-air mix needed for combustion way off kilter.
Does running out of gas damage fuel injectors?
Problems Running Out of Gas Can Cause
Even if the fuel pump remains intact, it is possible it will suck sediment that has collected at the bottom of the gasoline tank into the fuel line, and that can clog the fuel filter or, even worse, find its way into one or more of the fuel injectors, clogging them.
Can a fuel pump cause a car to stall?
Your fuel pump doesn't stop pushing gas through to the engine once you've started your vehicle; it also pumps gas to meet your vehicle's speed. If the pump cannot produce a constant stream of gas at higher speeds, your vehicle's engine will sputter and threaten to stall.
How long does it take for your car to start after running out of gas?
About three seconds after turning the engine on after filling the tank.
How much does it cost to replace a fuel pump?
How Much Does Fuel Pump Replacement Cost? The average cost for a fuel pump replacement is between $220 and $1,062 depending on vehicle and age. Labor costs are estimated between $124 and $260, while parts are priced between $95 and $854.
Why is my car using so much gas all of a sudden?
Fouled or Dirty Spark Plugs
Having fouled or dirty spark plugs can cause bad MPG. This happens when fuel is sprayed into the combustion chamber, but the spark does not ignite the fuel. When fuel is added to a cylinder and it doesn't combust, it gets wasted. This causes bad gas mileage.
What to do when you run out of gas in the middle of nowhere?
If there is a gas station within a walking distance to where you are, then prepare to walk towards the station to get some help. You can even book a ride-sharing app to get to the nearest one that you find. Otherwise, you can call the gas station too as soon as you get a hold of their contact number.
How does a car act when the fuel filter is going out?
A clogged fuel filter causes low fuel pressure that results in a lean fuel condition and engine misfire. This can result in poor fuel mileage, rough idling and possibly cause the check engine light to come on.
Can a bad gas cap cause stalling?
Therefore, can a bad gas cap cause stalling and misfires? It can, but the most likely causes for vehicle misfires would be a malfunctioning air flow sensor, a bad fuel pump, spark plugs, and ignition problems, or electrical transmission issues.
