….but my 2004 had the “refuse to fill fuel” thing happen twice.

Both times, I replaced the valve that is on top of the fuel tank, underneath the battery, that you access through a small panel under the battery.

That fixed it.

But it failed again.

Since COVID, the replacement part quality has plummeted, even with Porsche OEM parts.

Don’t trust that the new part is good out of the box.

I have had several bad Porsche parts.

Good luck.
