unable to put gas in tank other than very very very slowly. Fill pipe is clear from gas cap to tank ( I took it off and looked) I really don't want to pull tank looks like I have to remove driveshaft to do this. any suggestions oddly enough I have same problem with a 1998 Ford Taurus wagon.
thanks

Hi there,

The fuel tank venting system is blocked, check for a fault code first , it may pull a purge valve fault.
