Gas tank

[juggalo33438]

Not sure how to explain this. But i figure someone can figure out what im trying to say. When i go to put gas into my tank it will sometimes bubble backup. Takes me 4 ever to put 20$ into my tank.
Today i sat there for probly 10 mins trying to fill it up .
It makes me so mad because i dont have time to sit there doing this all day. I checked the line and it doesnt have anything in it.
Anything will help.

Just taking a guess, Could be the nozzle is to far in tank and its causing the flow of gas to to splash back at the nozzle. This might affect the auto nozzle shut off to start shutting down. If this was the case pulling nozzle out just a little "1/2 inch" might help. if you are using the same gas station they might have a bad nozzle. Go to another station see if that helps

Ive tried other stations. And pulling the nozzle out. Ima pull the bed off tomorrow and look around. See if something is pinched were i cant see.

Ive tried using other pumps. Tried other stations. Tried pulling it out till it was just the tipp in. Still does the same thing. It over flows like there is gas in there but if u wait a few seconds it goes down. So u have to put like 25 cents in at a time. And wow is that annoying. I was gonna take the tank off but i dont have time to do it atm. So im gonna wait till the weekend. If anyone else has an idea let me know. Im getting desprite.(sp)

When filling the gas tank, the tank is suppose to vent out. It used to vent out to the atmosphere. But due to environmental restriction, it can no longer vent out to the atmospher but instead the pump noozle has a device that allows it to capture the vented gas. I suspect that somehow that feature is not working, more than likely in your truck because you said you tried various pumps. Check out your Evaporative Emission Control System (EECS).

EECS consists of a charcoal-filled cannister and the lines connecting the cannister to the fuel tank, ported vacuum and intake manifold vacuum. Fuel vapors are transferred from the fuel tank, throttle body and intake manifold to a cannister where they are stored when the engine is not operating. When the engine is running, the fuel vapors are purged from the cannister by a purge control solenoid, which is PCM controlled, and consumed in the normal combustion process. Might be worthwhile checking this system before deciding to pull out the tank.
