Hello folks;

Once again thank you for your expertise with this matter. As the title says, when I go fill my gas tank I am not able to open the gas nozzle full. The nozzle shuts off automatically like it was full of gas. This happens every single time. My best guess, there is some line r hose that is blocked or not connected sand as a result there is build up of gases that when I go tot fill the gas tank escape slowly to the nozzle.

I got 2 questions, 1) is my assumption right?, if it is, 2) does anybody know what and where is that line.

Is the charcoal canister hooked up? That vents the tank fumes.
Is the one way vent in the top of the tank plugged or not working?
Is the small vent line that runs from it up to the charcoal canister, in the front of the car. plugged or pinched shut?
First places I would look before buying anything....
