Filling gas tank

[ntar827]

I have a new Four Winds Class C on a Chevy chassis.

I cannot get gas into the tank.

I can only get 0.01 to 0.02 gallons to flow before the pump shuts off.

Has anyone had this problem?

I am on the road and can't keep going this way.

Any advise?

Thanks

Typically, it is caused by one of two things:

1. The hose between the filler neck and the evap canister is plugged. You can pull the hose off of the evap canister and blow air through it. It should cause any debris to clear.

2. The evap canister is plugged. You can check it by blowing air into the evap canister from the discharge side. If no air flows out the inlet side, you need to replace the canister. One other method to try is to pull off the inlet hose on the evap canister and see if you can pump gas. If so, it is one of the two problems identified above. Do not leave it like this permanently or risk the wrath of tampering with your emission control devices.

There are other issues such as a misrouted filler neck hose or a blockage between the tank and the filler neck, but those are as frequent a problem as the evap system issues.

That happened to me and it was the hose from the filler neck to the tank. The bracket broke that holds up the hose. The hose drooped and couldn't force gas into the tank. The Ford garage couldn't find the problem. An RV dealer found the problem. Crawl under and see if you can see that hose and if it is drooping down. If you can believe it some RVs have that hose held up in the middle with zip ties.
