Re: [DML] Problem when filling the gas tank

[Gus Schlachter <gus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I suffer from the same issue, and settled on filling very slowly.  My  
best guess is that the vent hose is clogged, possibly by the safety  
grounding rod.  Since I smoke, I've been rather disinclined to  
investigate it further.
