My irritating ultra slow fueling issues
I have posted up previously that I cant pump gas into my truck without spending a good 10 minutes to put 10 bucks in the tank, I havnt put more then 20 bucks in it since I bought it cause it would take a half hour.
this is NOT A PUMP ISSUE, LET ME REPEAT NOT A PUMP ISSUE!
This has nothing to do with pullin out the nozzle, turning the nozzle or any of that, When I pump gas I have to literally do it as slow as it will go and say after 60 cents its shuts down and I restart the process, When im pumping, or i guess should say trickling the gas into the tank I can hear gurgling, I dont have anything spitting out of the filler valve, it just isnt taking the gas as it should be.
I have asked what the problem may be and really wanna figure something out and do it myself cause every place I call wants to rip the whole freaking tank off & completly check eveything & I cant afford it, I was wondering if something may be stuck in their, like maybe someone stuck a rock in their or something.
Someone out here has had to go through this nightmare,lol & Im hoping to find out what that person did to resolve this similar issue, I am at wits end with this.

I agree start by disconnection the filler tube and vent tube then see if there is anything stuck inside there the tubes come off the without having to take the whole tank down. simply go under and unscrew the clamps and then open the fuel door and take the bolts out and it should slide right out be careful not to break anything.

As i have said before in your previous threads, there is a screen in the fill tube that prevents thieves from stealing your fuel... Either that is blocked/clogged or the vent tube is blocked/clogged...
I would recommend either biting you lip and suck it in and pay the shop to remove the hoses and check them out or get some tools and crawl under there yourself and remove them and check them out... they are the only two openings in the tank that are related to fuel going in them so it have to be one of them..
