fuel tank pressure sensor S70

Check the purge valve, on the radiator shroud. It might need replacing and fix the code at the same time. A 9V battery touched to the purge valve leads should open/close the valve.

At least it is easy to get to.

As for pumping in gas, the cannister is probably full of liquid gasoline and not allowing air to escape the tank. A couple of 1/2 tank fill ups should resolve that if the purge valve is replaced. NEVER fill the tank past the pump automatic shutoff, the extra fuel will just drain to the cannister and be wasted.
