To bring an old thread back to life, ive got same problem as everyone else....cant fill tank and have replaced everything. Im about to follow Roosters advice on clearing the tank vent line. But before i do, I was wondering if I blow compressed air into the vent line, can it push the pellets into my fuel tank and will that screw anything up, with of course having the gas cap off so I dont overpressure tank?
BTW, this is a major PITA!!!
Also, FYI, I tried using my leaf blower to apply air pressure through the gas cap. Blew for 10 to 15 seconds multiple times with the vent line disconnected. After turning off blower, could hear tank breathing (venting) back out of the fuel filler tube. I had put cotton glove over the vent line to see if anything was coming out.......nada. Multiple reasons why that may not have worked, including no seal and maybe not enough pressure.
