So I tried pulling the trigger a little less to slow the flow. No success. No matter what I do gas is being forced back up at me. Has anyone else had problems like this? I have a pre #800 car if that helps. Is there a clogged vent line? Where do I look for something like this?
Please help! Thanks
Possibly the vent hose is kinked or plugged. The hose is about a 3/8" size and it runs from the tank to the side of the fill tube just below the body.
