[Tigers] Gas tank vent hose

[M Lafayette]

Seems like a few years back someone was advertising a device to put into the tank opening that supposedly solved this problem.

Like Gary, I’m in CA and I hold back the vapor recovery sleeve. I angle the nozzle down into the filler pipe and that helps. Still a PITA though. Never tried the upside down method.

You must not be in CA (or other state with the vapor recovery gas pumps).All 13 gallons take forever for me, so I never try to go more than 9 or so.Old cars don't have the on-board carbon canister system that is needed for the new pumps.So there is nothing you can do.When the nozzle is fully inserted and gas pumped in the pressure rises and the pump shutsoff, always spilling gas down the side and onto the ground. I have to hold the nozzle crooked so the bellows doesn't fully seat and just barely open thetrigger, takes forever.Some guys hold the nozzle upside down (vertical) and it works better.  I just tried this againand it did seem to work better than years ago when I last tried it.Gary

Subject: [Tigers] Gas tank vent hose I have a ongoing issue, more of testing my patience, in that it takes me at least 5 minutes to completely fill my gas tanks.  It takes the first 8-9 gallons just fine but the last 3-4 takes forever.  I must squeak in .1-.2 gallons at a time, meaning I must wait 10-15 seconds for the gas to settle in the tanks before adding more. The gas tank vent hose is in the correct location, I believe.  No gas fumes in trunk.  Gas tank sending unit and gauge are pretty accurate.  When my patience holds and I get the tanks full, gauge shows 11.75 to 12 gallons on the gauge. Any ideas or suggestions as to why this might be happening and potential fix would be appreciated. Regards Joel Martin_______________________________________________
