[QUOTE="swanny71, post: 434093, member: 19931"] In the interest of helping others, I discovered my slow gas fill problem. On a hunch, I disconnected the vent line from the gas tank to the charcoal canister (at the canister), then proceeded to fill the tank. I was able to fill it at ALL SPEEDS with no shutting off of the nozzle at any time. This is the very first time in 3 years that I could do that, very pleasantly surprised. Used the same pump at the same station as well. At home, before I went to the gas station, I disconnected that line and put a longer test line on that canister port, then I blew into it, there was some resistance but definitely not plugged solid. So I wasn't expecting the results I got. I plan to rebuild my canister per a YouTube video where a guy cut the plastic canister in half along the mounting clamp area, then cut new foam filters from black, open cell foam and filled with new charcoal pellets (from an aquarium store), then plastic welded the seam back up. Evidently new canisters aren't available anymore, or are pretty pricey; but I'll check first. [/QUOTE]
