My 92 Ranger doesn't like gas!
I have a 1992 Ford Ranger and all of a sudden I cant get gas in it.I have to leave the gas nozzle out as far as I can and just barely squeeze the handle or else it will spew it back out on me or just keep kicking the nozzle handle out like its full.Please give some ideas why this is happening and how to fix it.Thanks

couple of things
do you have any enemies? maybe someone stuffed something in there and you can't see it unless you take it apart. also, does the truck have a lift on it because the filler tube requires an extension with a body-lift and if not done properly could cause a problem. i've also herd of some corrosion issues with the tubes or necks and maybe there is a chunk of rust or something like that. do you drive it much or does it sit? could be jelling up you also. there is alot of scenarioes.

My 91 Ranger 3L V6 does the same thing. I've never really looked into why mine
does this, I've just learned to live with having to fill up the tank slower. Maticuno,
you're suggestion of the collasped hose causing this makes sense.
I might have to look at that and see if maybe I can spend less time filling up my tank.

if the vent line is bad it would cause this also, as gas goes in the air has to go somewhere. no air out = no gas in. as you squeze pump wide open it fills filler tube completely, no way for air to get out if vent is clogged hense gas on the feet. if you just fill it slowly the air can vent back thru filler tube.
