    Can't fill up 1999 TC

    When I try to fill up, the fuel pump keeps switching off and the gas keeps shooting back out of the filler, unless I pour the fuel in EXTREMELY slow - like, it takes me half an hour to get two gallons into the thing. It seems that something about fuel vent is wrong, but I'm new to the Panthers and have no idea what to look for...

    Thanks for any ideas!

    Yup, sounds like the vent tube is blocked or pinched off. Either that or something went down the filler hose and got stuck

      That happened once to me in my 89, I cleaned out the drainage hole outside the tank filler (was clogged). Seemed to go away. I am not sure if that had anythign to do with it
