2012 Jeep Patriot Fuel Issue

Have an issue with my son's 2012 Jeep Patriot I'm looking for advice on. It won't take fuel without clicking off after a second or two. No matter how slow you go.

Repair shop wants $1600 to put a new fuel tank on it because the "flow chart" says to replace the tank. The thing is barely worth $1600 to begin with. He's a teenager and this is his first car. I'm not looking to sink even more into it after I just put $1,000 into the damn rear brakes (which weren't even functional they said).

The great oracle that is YouTube seems to suggest there is some charcoal filter evap vent thing-a-jig that is $200 that usually fixes these symptoms. Any thoughts on if that's worth a shot, or do I just bite the bullet and pay the extortion fee to the shop? I asked them about the filter and they said it's not on the "flow chart" for them to check.

Getting to the Temple on the shuttle

Couldn’t have been easier. Drive right past the traffic hell on 71, head over to Cbus State, PLENTY of parking. Walk right on the shuttle. Dropped off a block from 17th. Took longer to navigate the stupid cattle chutes at the entrance than the entire park+shuttle+walk. End of night will probably my be a shit show but what isn’t?

How crowded is Rock Royalty?

Only coming for tomorrow. Decided not to get RR was hoping they would release more single day tickets when the 4 days allotment didn’t sell like they did last year. But still says sold out.
