Slow filling gas tank
My 71 Jimmy takes for ever to fill with gas. It has a replacement tank, what appears to be the correct filler (based on what I see currently on the parts for sale), and no under hood canister. I dropped the tank and put on new vent lines (2) that run to the thing (???) next to the filler tube. From there I have a marine gas tank vent below the floor board (should this be higher). From the filler tube to the tank I removed the length of radiator hose and ran a length (14-16") of marine gas tank rubber tube (same size - 1 1/4?). Any ideas on why it is so slow filling. Please don't ask for pictures. I can't do that.
