That could be a possibility if the canister is fuel fouled. You need to check the evap system again to make sure there are no obstructions.

also one thing I forgot to mention is that I don’t have check engine light or codes but I hope the new canister will fix the problem, I will Let you know regardless once I get it and install it

I can recommend 1 main thing, "NEVER TOP OFF" !!When the pump shuts off, STOP fueling or you can cause damage to the evap system and end up with issues. The vent valve(mounted on the canister) is the most common problem that I have found when this happens. Don't take my advice I only have 37yrs in auto repair.

thank you for the advice, I never top off but looks like the previous owner did. I bought the hummer recently and noticed this issue
