theyre sposed to last the life of the car, however topping off the tank constantly (overfilling it) will kill them. thats why you stop putting in gas when the pump turns off.

is it weird that my brothers car had to be replaced 3 times in the past year and a half.

does he top off his gas tank all the time?

he stops when the pump stops him after that he doesnt go any further.
every time? it could be a problem with the purge lines or solenoid, a clogged or pinched line somewhere.

a 99 camry i dont know why it does this bull ****.
i *think* that like the 8th gen corollas its know for evap issues. take it to the dealer and get it fixed and make sure he DOES NOT top it off.

well he is older than me and he doesnt top it off. i am usually there when he gets gas and i never see him go over after it shuts off. i think this car is probably known for the evap issues to then cause my brother takes care of his car.
