Tried that and by going very slowly was able to get in about half a tank. Also checked the E6 fuse ( on the 04 diagram I could not find any listing for a fuse dealing with the fuel tank vent. Looks like it may be time to go into the tank. I am not sure if friendship extends that far.

The technical name is onboard refueling vapor recovery (ORVR) valve. On all 2000 and newer Porsche cars. An electronic onboard refueling vapor recovery (ORVR) system including an electrically operated ORVR valve that selectively opens and closes a fuel vapor path between the fuel tank and a collection canister.

Thanks, OR/VR is one of the things listed in E6 on the fuse diagram which calls for a 7.5 amp fuse. It actually had a 5 amp fuse in it that was not blown and I replaced it with the correct 7.5 and it made no difference. It could be the valve itself. I'll do some more research. Every small piece of info helps to understand what is happening.
