Fuel filler collar problem V70 2006

Post by MikeQ »

Hi; I am wondering if anybody has had an issue with filling their car with fuel?

If I put the gas pump in and give it a full squeeze, the fuel comes shooting straight back out of the collar so I am having to squeeze gasoline in super slow now.

Let me know if you are familiar with what is happening here and what is the fix.

Thanks, Mike / Ottawa

There's a small charcoal filter on the vent that may be plugged with spiderwebs.

Much of my time during the job is spent hauling things up and down the stairs to the basement or in and out of the storage shed, or running back downstairs when I realize I need something else,or taking a break from standing out in the sun,or using flashlights or work lamps when it gets dark.
