<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;">I had the same trouble as everybody else, and the only relief I could get was to break the recovery seal, also. This went on for decades. One day I smelled some gas fumes in the car. After eliminating the carb as the source I started looking behind the trunk panels. I found a crack in the vent tube and another crack in the filler neck. Fixed both of those. Went to gas up, stuck the nozzle in, put the automatic trip on, and was shocked that the tanks filled completely. This was about a year ago Every fill up since, even at different gas stations, has had the same result. Goes totally against logic and critical thinking, because previously the only way to get gas in was to break the seal. Now, with no way for air to enter the system, it fills up completely without any fuss. Go figure!</p>
