Default Tough to fill the tank

To fill my tank I have to feed the gas in very slowly. If I just put the filler in and open it up it kicks off after 3 or 4 seconds.
It's not really a problem, more of an irritant. No gas leaks anywhere.
Anyone else have the same problem?

In lieu of changing the valve, for now you can hold the filler neck 'sideways' so that it rests in the cutout towards the back of the car.

That lets the gas swirl in without the kick.

2005 Jaguar X-Type X400 3.0L SportWagon
VIN : SAJWA54A55WE15683


EVAP error codes

How do you fix this problem ?

Permanent P0442 EVAP System Leak Detected - small 0.040 in

Permanent P0456 EVAP System Leak Detected - very small 0.020 in

Permanent P0430 Catalytic Converter System efficiency below threshold - Bank 2


Repairs

Mechanics have ( supposedly ) checked and verified that the Canister is OK.
Mechanics have ( supposedly ) removed the Gas Tank and Replaced ( supposedly ) the Solenoid Valve.
Mechanics have ( supposedly ) checked and Cleaned the Check valve on the throat of the gas Tank and "cleaned" the sealing surface. They claimed that it was "sticky" from "gunk" built up on it.

The Check Engine Light is still on, Steady.

I can NOT put gas in the tank without the pump constantly clicking Off. I can only get 1/4, 1/8, 1/10, 1/20 or 1/100 of a Gallon of gas into the tank at a time. It takes me 20 minutes to fill up with 18 gallons of gas.

Mine was the same, I now put the nozzle in as normal (handle and hose pointing down) and then rotate the whole lot 90 degrees clockwise so the handle is at 9 o’clock position and it fills no problem.
