There should be a smaller plastic "ribbed" hose inside your filler neck to vent the tank when fueling.

Sounds like it either has a hole in it, is crushed or came off the top of the filler lead restrictor, allowing gas to enter the vent hose, thereby not letting air to escape the tank.

Have you ever tried putting gas into your saw, or lawn mower without opening the vent cap, on the container?

Hope this helps.

It should run from the tank to the little notch and hole in the top of the filler tube where the gas cap goes. You can't see it unless you have the filler tube disconnected since it is inside the filler tube.


What you are looking for is the little black tube sticking out in this picture...

Good Luck,
