Default Have to dribble in gas?

I’ve had to put up with running a gas nozzle at the lowest possible speed for way too long. One video I saw, suggested that the carbon canister had gotten gas into it, and carbon beads were clogging the line. Mine turned out to be far simpler. if you live in country where there are dirt, Dobber check the final curved outlet from the carbon chamber. Mine had dirt all the way into the metal valve and was completely clogged. I washed out the hose, took off the metal valve which was full. I washed it out, dried it put it back went to the gas station and my gosh what a treat! If you can’t exhaust the air, you can’t fill up your tank readily. Should’ve figured this out a long time ago but maybe it’ll help you. Sure hope so.

Thank you for sharing. I was convinced the problem is due to clogged vent tube .. the tube that runs parallel to the fill tube all the way back to the filler neck.
