This happens when the tank ventilation system gets clogged, or the bottom of the fuel tank is bent inward. When you fill the tank it displaces air as the fuel goes in. It acts like its full because it can't vent the air out of the tank
its not the gas its the price of the gas that seems like bad mileage go to gas station and fill till gas pump clicks off at slow fill record mileage and gallons to fill/road test for 25 miles go back to same gas station same side of gas pump and refill at slow fill and record miles and gallons to refill this will give you best practice for fuel mileages/PS drive in cityor highway not both causes difference in gas mileage
the fuel return hose is kinked or plugged up. every filler neck has a secondary vent tube attached to the tank for fast fill ups. If it is slow in filling have that vent tube inspected
Sounds like a possible venting issue, If you can find the vent hose (should be smaller diameter rubber hose near the fill hose), you can check it for kinks. Air has to come out of the tank as fuel goes in, so a blocked vent hose could cause the symptoms you described. You will have to inspect it from under the vehicle, start where the fill cap is located and work your way to the tank. Be safe and hope this helps.
sounds like breather tube,(smaller line)than goes from tank to filler is plugged. may be blocked or rusted shut.Posslby able to disconnect and blow through with high pressure air
theres a problem with the pipe that goes from the gas tank to the gas cap.Look under neath and see if the hose is pinched or bent.Another cause could be who ever owned it before had the tank out and they messed up the hose when they put it back in but that is differently the problem..
