Cannot put fuel in tank

...05 LGT. Its the strangest thing. Went to put gas in at station and it will not fill. Pushed long copper wire down and there does not seem to be any obstacles. Went home, tried a slow pour with gas in a container, no go. Is there a vent hose issue somewhere? Where to begin? Thanks

 

Try putting the long copper wire down the much smaller hole located just underneath the filler hole. If that little hole gets clogged, then filling up is a very slow process. It's a breather tube to let air out as fuel goes in.

^what he said^
problems like this are usually in the neck assembly, start there

 

dont mean to tread jack but if thats a breather hole, is it bad to get fuel down it?

 

No, not at all. Anything you put threw there goes right into the fuel tank. The breather hole runs parallel to the filler neck and they connect closer to the tank.

Dan, we may have a winner here. Took a stout copper wire, pushed it in a ways...and gas from the container goes in with zero issues. We'll try the pump tomorrow. Thanks again
