Well, you know the saying:
Old people have problems with new technology (referring to humfrz with his lack of avatar updating skills), and new people have problems with old technology (referring to OP and humfrz for his reply to OP for his ".....back in the day...." solution. My solution? Using a plastic or hard rubber hammer, tap a few times LIGHLTY on top of the plastic fuel pump assembly underneath the access panel of the driver's side rear seat (passenger side on a right-hand drive model) to try and get the float/sender unit unstuck. If that doesn't work, pull the assembly out and test the fuel sender as outlined in the service manual. Replace if necessary. |

I know this is an older thread, but have you considered the canister vent valve? Our Nissan Versa does the same thing, but keeps clicking unless you fill up really slowly. It seems like its building pressure in a way that the tank thinks its full. Its a new car so its unlikely, but its a thought.
