I have a 1999 Taurus with a 24 valve engine. Recently, I have a lot of trouble filling my gas tank no matter how slow I try to pump the gas and no matter how I position the gas nozzle. The nozzle continually shuts off as if the tank is full. (I am positive the tank is empty and I never had this problem till the last couple months) I have to fill the tank very very slowly. Someone suggested that the gas tank vent is plugged, however I don't know where the vent tube is located. I was also told that it could possibly be a faulty "vent solenoid". I also do not know where that part is located or what part should be replaced first. Another person recommended that I replace the filler tube, but it does not appear to be damaged.
Any suggestions as to the problem and the location of the parts, especially the vent solenoid, would be greatly appreciated. I am also open to any other suggestions for this problem.
Thanks in advance!!!
