Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings Problems of Chrysler 300C

Stopped on the way home to fill up my gas tank. When the nozzle shut off, I removed the nozzle. I heard a gurgling sound in the tank which was unusual. I began driving out of the gas station through the adjacent parking lot and the engine died within 150 feet of driving. I restarted the engine and upon it died again within 15 feet. Re-started a third time and it stalled out and would not stay running. Had the car towed to local repair shop and upon doing diagnostic tests found that the roll over valve in the fuel tank was bad which caused fuel to get into the evap vent hose which caused the engine to flood and stall out. Solution is to replace the tank which is on back order til Jan 30th (9 days from now). They are expecting in 130 tanks at the warehouse which is suggesting this issue is becoming more common.

The vehicle will stall out several times after filling the tank with gas and it only stalls out after filling the tank. Vehicle will stall when stopped or when the rpm is low. The problem is the vapor/liquid separator valve located at the top of the fuel tank. The valve is designed to prevent liquid fuel from entering the charcoal canister/emissions system. When the valve fails, liquid gas can enter the line and fill the charcoal canister. After refueling the pcm on the vehicle detects a change in fuel level. Then, when the engine meets certain temperature and driving criteria, the pcm issues a purge command to the charcoal canister to remove the stored gas vapors. It's at that point that all the liquid gas in the line gets sucked into the charcoal canister. The pcm expects to see gas vapors entering the intake manifold and it is prepared to adjust air/fuel mixtures to compensate. However, it is not prepared to see liquid gas coming into the intake. That¿s what causes the engine to stall. This can be a very dangerous situation with the vehicle on the road in traffic. I've read in multiple online forums this same situation is happening to many on the Chrysler 300c early year models. Hopefully a recall will be created to resolve this situation.

The current issue with this model for me is the fuel. I just had a vapor canister installed that did not solve the issue but it did get rid of a few of the problems. When I first started having problems with my car shutting down after a fill up, I thought the gas had water in it but it's not the gas. No matter what station I fill up at, I have the same symptoms. The car will drive fine for about 3 car lengths, then it will hesitate, choke, jump, try to die, jerk forward and then finally stall and shut itself off. Then it will take 3 or more tries to get the car to restart and it may do the same things over again for another block or two. The bottom line is, in the first 3 blocks of driving this car after a fill up, I can expect just about anything and I know for sure it will die on me if I fill it up. If I only put in 3/4 of a tank of gas or less, I am safe but if I let the pump kick off on its own, I'm in trouble. The only thing the vapor canister did was stop it from jumping and jerking, all the other symptoms are still there.

After filling my gas tank, at 1/2 a tank, I pulled away from the pump and the car stalled. After restarting I continued on my way. Every time I slowed down for traffic, or a stop sign, or traffic light, the car stalled. This happened 6-8 times on my way home where the car was parked until the next day. After starting, the engine "spitted, and spurted" on acceleration. It then smoothed out, and ran fine, until this latest incident. Also, the last time the car was fueled, it would not accept gas, the hose kept shutting off. Tried another pump, same result, went to another gas station, same result.
