new gas tank

[carguy]

I installed a new gas tank and now when I put gas in it, I have to slowly add it or it kicks the gas pump off. What could that be?

My new gas tank does that also ?

Hey mine does that it sprayed me. It just had new tank put in it I have to go real slow.

Where did you guys buy these tanks?

They all do it and it's a PIA. I actually got so irritated on winter I thought about having new necks built.

 

[carguy]

So there is no fix?

Is there anyone make one that works?

glad to know there's nothing wrong with me then!!(at least not in filling up the gas tank anyway) because does this as well.

pull it out & go with a fuel cell is my only advice, all the tanks have the same style neck far as i know!

It's just a balancing act to pull the pump back a little bit and lay it on the tag at an angle.

True earl, gotta have the right angle for your dangle

So you don't go all the way in,Instead you just put the tip in?

....well, I'd have a bunch of dimes

Could be something to do with the vent line? Mine did the same thing when I installed a new tank, but since removing the charcoal canister it's fine.

My old OEM tank never did this. But when I got a new Spectra tank I have the same problems too when filling the tank.

No charcoal cannister connected with either tanks. Just an open line vented into the atmosphere in the engine compartment.

I'm baffled just like everyone else.
