Thread: Gas Tank Hard to Fill

tried upplugging the sensor. Did not work. I don' t want to drop the tank unless I know with reasonable certainty that the purge valve on top of the tank is bad.

By the gas filler neck.

That's a tough one then. I also thought that some years have a vent line connected to the filler neck that can get clogged or rusted.

The only other thing could be that the EVAP line and/or canister is clogged also but I would think that would throw a code.
