First, you never fill the tank with the engine running.
What code are you getting? You will need to check over the EVAP system, there are lines from the tank to the EVAP canister, then from there to the engine. These lines will need to be inspected.

X2 - You've got an obstruction in the EVAP line, which can include a purge valve closed or the canister is full/plugged.

Under the hood ?? What is the purge valve and where is it ??
Now I assume the canister will have hoses going to it, can it be opened ?? How would you recomend trouble shooting this problem?
