I have a '99 4x4. Tried to siphon gas out of my pickup the other day and when i pulled the hose out i'm pretty sure i damaged something... it now takes about 15min to fill-up the truck and the fuel has to be trickled in vs. full-throttle pumping.

Where is the anti-siphon valve / baffle / screen? Is it an easy fix or do i have to pull the tank to get to it?

Thanks in advance for your help / advice; i've been a lurker here on-off for years but can't seem to find the answer to this question in the 'search'.

 

When I first got my truck I had to trickle fill it try putting the gas nozzle all the way in next time and then backing it out a little to see if that works that's how I get mine to fill at full blast just be careful towards the end it'll splash out if u rnt paying attention.

 

Thanks Josh - I tried that this afternoon to no avail. I'm pretty certain it's the anti-siphon device.
Can anyone tell me more about it? Where it's located and how to fix/replace it?

 

i didnt even know there was such a thing as a anti-siphon device lol makes sense tho

 

Surely someone knows SOMETHING about the anti-siphon valve?!
