SYMPTOM/CONDITION
A condition may exist on subject model vehicles where the fuel tank cannot be fully filled or is very difficult to fill. The fuel gauge on these subject
vehicles will normally stop one graduation bar below the full bar.
This condition may be caused by a fuel filler vent tube which is too long, and prevents sufficient venting on fuel filling. This vent tube will require
modification as outlined below.

Position vehicle on hoist.

Disconnect negative battery cable.
