2000 Mazda pickup--clogged fuel filler pipe?

Jan 22, 2004 2 Replies

Hi,



About a month ago, I started having problems filling my B3000 with fuel. Unless I add it very slowly, the pump shuts off. I can feel something about 12 inches down into the pipe. Is this a filter? Or could it be a vent problem?



TIA JB


Take a look in the wheel well, you should be able to see past your wheel and see the filler tube, first look at the rubber part and make sure it's not squished or something like that. You should also be able to crawl under there and take the rubber tube off, just be carefull doing it, if there is something in there, you don't want it falling into the tank. That should give you a good idea if there is something in it or not.
