Here is all the details, I bought this truck about 2 months ago and my check engine light came on and I received the message, "Tighten the fuel cap" a few times. And took it to Autozone, they hooked it up to their tester and basically told me that was the problem. So, all right, I tighten the fuel cap and the CEL went off for a couple weeks, then it came back on but this time no tighten fuel cap message. (I also noticed that the metal flap that covers the hole to my gas tank wasn't closing so I thought that might be adding to the loose gas cap issue.) So I didn't think anything of it, I just figured it was the gas cap issue again and it would take a couple weeks for the CEL to shut off on its own, but then I started having this gas filling problem.
The past couple weeks when I've gone to 3 different gas stations and try to fill up my truck, the pump automatically kicks off (You know how the pumps do that when your tank is full). I've been filling up when I have a quarter tank of gas, and when I try to pump gas, the pump handle auto kicks off about every 10 seconds or so. I've tried holding the pump at different angles and such and no luck. I can still get gas in there but it's really frustrating to have it kicking off every few seconds.
Any thoughts?

usually this is the charcoal carbon canister/vent that is plugged..driving on dusty off roads or over filling the tank and parking the vehicle causes the fuel to expand then plug up these devices that control tank pressure/vacuum...
with the exact code number it is possible to get a better handle on whats up ///dtc 0449 ??
