Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Gas tank ???

The answer to this can be found in the latest issue of American Motoring news letter on page 12 "Tech Questions with Jeff Reeves. What he says is that the old gas pumps used to had a long, curved nozzle that would fit in further down into our cars gas filler neck and fill the tank. Todays modern pumps have a shorter nozzle nozzle and are designed to be more vapor-sensitive, because of this, they are easily confused by the desogn of the older tanks. This makes the pump cut-off permaturely.
Jeff gives more detail in his colume.

The tank vent is plugged up
Comes off top of tank to a tube that runs to engine bay to charcoal canister
That's my guess

Okay, I probably missed this but here goes. All this gas tank talk has me wondering if there is a fix for my 74 Gremlin's tank. It will not take gasoline unlesss I hand control the flow as slow as possible and even then it needs to be "burped" , especially the closer to full it gets.
