THIS MAY NOT PERTAIN TO YOUR VEHICLE
WHEN SNATCHING MY SISTER'S TAHOE TANK DOWN FOR A NEW FUEL PUMP
I NOTICED "SCREENS" ON/ IN BOTH HOSE CONNECTIONS
IN MY PIC BELOW, YOU CAN SEE THE SCREEN FOR THE VENT HOSE WELL
I TOOK MANY PICS FOR THE FUEL PUMP INSTALL, BUT I DIDN'T GET A SHOT OF THE SCREEN INSIDE THE CONNECTION WHERE THE BIG "FILL HOSE" CONNECTS
IT WAS RELATIVELY EZ TO DISCONNECT BOTH HOSES ON THE TAHOE
YOURS MIGHT BE A REAL PAIN IN THE BUTT (I HAVE NO CLUE)
THE REASON I'M HITTING YOU WITH THIS INFO
IS IF SOMEBODY CRAMMED A PAPER TOWEL/ TOY/ ETC INTO YOUR FILL HOLE, MAYBE IT'S NOW ALL SPRAWLED OUT OVER A SCREEN
TAKING THE HOSE LOOSE AT THE TANK MIGHT LET YOU REMOVE IT
STILL NOT KNOWING YOUR RIG AT ALL
I SNAGGED A FILL TUBE FROM A DODGE TRUCK AT AN AUTO SALVAGE YARD TO MODIFY MY 1946 WILLYS JEEP'S FUEL TANK ABOUT A YEAR AGO
THIS TUBE HAD A PLASTIC CHECK BALL IN IT BEFORE IT ENTERED THE TANK
THE BALL COULD GET "STUCK" IN THE UP POSITION IF CONDITIONS WERE JUST RIGHT, OR THERE AGAIN, TRASH COULD BUILD UP AROUND IT AND SLOW DOWN THE FLOW.
GIVING YOU A PIC OF IT TOO
MAYBE THINGS WILL GO EZ
KEEP US POSTED ON PROGRESS
