Default RE: can't add fuel to truck

In order to add fuel to the tank, the air (or vapor) has to go somewhere. There is a system on the tank called the vapor recovery system. It runs off the top of the tank (roller valve) and goes to a carbon canister andvent solenoid (normally open) and then to a vent hose. I would look at the vent hose to see if maybe a dirt dobber built a nest in it, or it just has mud in it. Keep going back up the hose toward the tank until you find the restric[sm=mail.gif]tion.
