[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 432359, member: 18789"] The plastic 20 gallon was used in all years. Personally I can't say I've ever heard of slow gas filling being an issue. It was an issue on later TJs but I can't think of anything on a YJ that would even cause it to be slow. the YJ has a large vent tube that is there to allow the space taken up by the fuel to escape as you fill...unless that is clogged somehow but that's like a 1" hose, I don't see how it would be. The excess pressure does vent to the canister, but I don't think a canister problem can cause issues at the gas station because that should be all related to the large fill and vent hoses. May be worth dropping the tank to take a closer look anywho, I have not ever had this issue. Are you overflowing if you let the gas station go too fast? [/QUOTE]
