fueling up?

Ive got a 68 half cab 289 with duel tanks, the rear tank does fine, the side tank fills soooooo slowly. I cant seem to find anythig wrong with it. I have to put the fuel in so slow it takes forever . I wind up not using the fuel so i dont have to put any in. Any Ideas? thanks

i had a similar problem with an 86 bronco i had. turned out my filler neck was at a bad angle. in other words the filler tube went down made the horizontal bend to the rubber piece of tube that went to the side of the tank. it was at the horizontar part the it ran up instead of flat horizontal. after i corrected that it was fine. mine was caused by the body being badly rusted and it sagged on the mounts pusing the filler tube down making the lower part of the run to the tank up hill.<!-- / message -->
