    I replaced damn near everything on my Toyota and finally figured out this damn line has been clogged. It's causing a ton of problems like rough idle and exhaust pipe overheating. The exhaust pipe getting too hot could be because of damaged valves but I'm betting it's this clogged line. We'll find out soon!

    I just put a brand new fuel tank in my 97 f150 and now it won't take fuel you have to nurse it in by barely squeezing the handle and it takes a while to get 25 gallons in it.
    I'm thinking my issue might be something else maybe a clogged vent tube or carbon canister which I'm going to see if I can't just bypass I live in the country I don't need emissions inspections and yes I hate the environment LOL

      You Can! Use an extension from your tools or a punch, what ever and tap it right out of there. Now, it will fall into the bottom of your tank but, that want hurt anything. Just remember, your pushing, tapping hitting on a plastic value and a spring that is inside a gas tank. "CAREFUL" You do not want any kind of ignition source. This is a rollover valve, in case the vehicle rolls over it stops the gas from draining out.

    Thats happened to me on my 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab Lonestar Edition 4.7 liter engine. My fill tank and the computerized system near the tank is way different than yours. Anyways I took it to the dealership and paid $750 for the labor and some parts. I just don't understand I keep up with my truck put the best gas you can get at Shell and never let it get below a quarter tank and I still have problems. my gas tank is 34 gallons I believe maybe 36 because it usually takes about a little over $100 to fill up. My engine s not some ordinary 4.7 liter it's a high compression ratio that uses premium and super unleaded gasoline. every once in awhile I can get away with regular unleaded but at the end my engine will start the clatter and some of my center with the anti lock system will activate alerting me at the fuel quality. But anyways I love your video.

    PS. Great video. Concise and to the point...other Tubers could learn from you. Nothing worse than someone trying to show you how to do something, but all they do is editorialize and spend 15 minutes on a 3 minute repair.

      Lucky Plumber ....Hum....something is restrict ING the air pressure. I'd check to see if you have a blockage issue.

      I saw a guy on a Chevy video pull his tank and ran air thru all the vent lines . He blew a whole bunch of crap out of his . May work for you

    Nice video. But still he has to use his hand to control the pressure. What does that mean??

    I don't think my 05 gmc sierra has this. I checked today and didn't see one. Does anyone know if it does and maybe I'm just not seeing it?

      Drew sorry so late to your question. But I have 05 silverado. The baffle is inside the hose not at the tank.
