Gas filler tube problems

[BILLF/TRF]

I can't seem to be able to put gas into my tank at more than a slight trickle before it backs up and spills over. It takes a long time to fill the tank. Anyone else having this problem? ('36 coupe)

It sounds like the vent tube in the neck is stopped up or you have a wrong neck without a vent tube.

Most of the new pumps at gas stations do that. Sometimes turning the neck of the pump handle so it kind of follows the bend in the filler pipe helps. I had a real bad one yesterday and was almost tempted to go to another station. They seem to work better after a gallon or so is pumped or maybe it's me getting the flow cut back to where it takes it. I also noticed most of the new handles with the big rubber seal close off the top of the filler neck and don't spit back. I heard this type removes the fumes?? G.M.

I agree, a piece of fuel injection line hose works good and won't break down, the killer is a lot of guys drop the hose down in there. Almost need to make a little filler helper with an attachment to keep the tube from dropping in.
