Default Intrepid fuel fills slooowly!

My 2000 Intrepid takes on fuel very slowly. The fuel fill tube, one-way valve, and filter have all been changed. What else can it be?

Welcome Aboard ksintrepid! Stay tuned - a Technician (or member) will jump in shortly to provide a possible solution. In the meantime, don't forget to browse Sub-Forums: Intrepid for stuff related to your ride.

NEW INFORMATION -- We have noticed that the Intrepid takes on fuel slowly if the tank is near empty. When the tank is 1/4 or 1/2 full before refueling it takes on fuel at the normal rate. We will monitor this for a few weeks and see if the phenomenom continues.

The problem maybe in the fuel tank.
