A method for a fuel system, comprising: during a first condition, directing gasses stripped of fuel vapor from a fuel vapor canister to an engine intake while maintaining a fuel tank isolation valve open. By directing the gasses stripped of fuel vapor the engine intake, a restricted vent line may be bypassed during a refueling event. In this way, premature shutoff events may be mitigated, allowing for a continuous refueling event.

1. A method for a fuel system, comprising: during a refueling event: in response to a fuel tank pressure being above a first threshold, directing gasses stripped of fuel vapor from a fuel vapor canister to an engine intake while maintaining a fuel tank isolation valve open, and maintaining a canister purge valve open until the fuel tank pressure decreases below a second threshold when it closes the canister purge valve. 2. The method of claim 1, where the refueling event occurs during an engine-off condition, and where the fuel tank pressure is determined based on a pressure sensor in fluidic communication with a fuel tank. 3. The method of claim 2, where the refueling event includes a flow of fuel from a fuel dispenser into the fuel tank. 4. The method of claim 3, where directing gasses stripped of fuel vapor from the fuel vapor canister to the engine intake comprises opening the canister purge valve coupled between the fuel vapor canister and the engine intake. 5. The method of claim 2, where the fuel tank isolation valve is coupled between the fuel tank and the fuel vapor canister, and wherein the first threshold is based on one or more of a fuel fill level, a fuel dispensing rate, or a rate of fuel tank pressure increase. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the second threshold is less than the first threshold. 7. The method of claim 3, where the refueling event is detected based on one or more of a refueling request, an operator accessing a refueling door, or a proximity to a fueling station. 8. A method for refueling a vehicle, comprising: depressurizing a fuel tank;removing an access restriction to a fuel filler neck;adding fuel to the fuel tank; andduring the adding of the fuel to the fuel tank, determining a fuel tank pressure in the fuel tank;responsive to the fuel tank pressure increasing above a first threshold, opening a canister purge valve; andresponsive to the fuel tank pressure decreasing below a second threshold, less than the first threshold, closing the canister purge valve. 9. The method of claim 8, where depressurizing the fuel tank comprises opening a fuel tank isolation valve, wherein the removing is performed in response to the depressurizing, and wherein the adding fuel is performed in response to the removing. 10. The method of claim 9, where depressurizing the fuel tank further comprises: responsive to a rate of fuel tank depressurization being less than a depressurization threshold, opening the canister purge valve;wherein the vehicle is in an engine-off state during the adding. 11. The method of claim 8, further comprising, during the adding of the fuel to the fuel tank: maintaining the canister purge valve open until the fuel tank pressure decreases below the second threshold. 12. The method of claim 11, further comprising, during the adding of the fuel to the fuel tank: following closing the canister purge valve, re-opening the canister purge valve responsive to the fuel tank pressure increasing above the first threshold; andclosing the canister purge valve responsive to the fuel tank pressure decreasing below the second threshold. 13. The method of claim 11, further comprising: responsive to a removal of a refueling nozzle from the fuel filler neck, closing a fuel tank isolation valve; andrestricting access to the fuel filler neck. 14. The method of claim 11, where removing the access restriction to the fuel filler neck comprises unlocking a refueling door, and where restricting access to the fuel filler neck comprises locking the refueling door. 15. A fuel system for a vehicle, comprising: a fuel tank comprising a fuel filler neck and a fuel tank pressure sensor; a fuel vapor canister coupled to the fuel tank via a fuel tank isolation valve; a canister purge valve coupled between the fuel vapor canister and an engine intake; a canister vent line coupled between the fuel vapor canister and atmosphere; and a controller configured with instructions stored in non-transitory memory, that when executed, cause the controller to: during a first condition comprising a refilling of the fuel tank, opening the fuel tank isolation valve and maintaining the fuel tank isolation valve open until the dispensing is complete; during the first condition, responsive to a fuel tank pressure increasing above a first threshold, opening the canister purge valve and maintaining the canister purge valve open until the fuel tank pressure decreases below a second threshold, less than the first threshold; and during the first condition, responsive to the fuel tank pressure decreasing below the second threshold, closing the canister purge valve. 16. The fuel system of claim 15, wherein the first condition further comprises an engine-off condition; andwherein the first threshold is based on one or more of a fuel fill level, a fuel dispensing rate, or a rate of fuel tank pressure increase. 17. The fuel system of claim 16, where the controller is further configured with instructions stored in non-transitory memory, that when executed, cause the controller to, during the first condition: following closing the canister purge valve, re-open the canister purge valve responsive to the fuel tank pressure increasing above the first threshold; andclose the canister purge valve responsive to the fuel tank pressure decreasing below the second threshold. 18. The fuel system of claim 15, further comprising the fuel tank pressure sensor for determining the fuel tank pressure and a canister pressure sensor for determining a pressure downstream of the fuel vapor canister. 19. The method of claim 1, further comprising depressurizing a fuel tank by opening the fuel tank isolation valve before the refueling event, and in response to a rate of depressurization being less than a depressurization threshold, opening the canister purge valve.
