i didnt know what to post this under but its under the 2.9 section for now. Anyways ive been have a problem when pumping gas since i swaped my demolished bed out for one from the junkyard. when at the pump u have to pump the gas real slow or it will come flying back out the opening and down the side of my truck . was wondering if there was a fix to this.

The filler tube must be kinked a bit, should be able to loosen it up and twist it straight.

Mine had a hose that's smaller then the filler neck hose. The metal filler neck "necks" down after it fits in the rubber filler hose and has a smaller hose attached to it. Maybe that smaller hose came loose. Hope that makes sense lol

Also check that smaller rubber hose to make sure it has not collapsed on itself & welded itself shut internally, I have seen them do that as well. You should be able to blow through it easily.
