Gas tank hard to refuel, can hear gas backup filler

[dwcopple]

Ordered the vapor solenoid yesterday. Will be here tomorrow. Pulled the canister today. What a messy spot to mount it. Thing was covered in road debris. Stupid. It should be shielded somehow.

Well, that didn't work either...GD it, WTF!!!

I've blown through every line there is under there. No issues. No fricken idea what the problem is. Just wasted $80 on two parts that weren't it though.

What vent did you replace? That picture you sent with the blue valve doesn’t look like the vent.

The vapor vent valve. Direct from Ford

Unless the valve at the bottom of your filler is causing fuel to back up in the neck, the vent would be the only thing. Can you put air pressure in to the filler neck and pressurize the tank?

Probably. What will that prove?

i winna say he is saying if dose not take air and its not filling the tank its an immediate block on the filler

That, and if it does take air, you should be able to hear it move through the vent. That will kind of help pinpoint where the problem is.
