Is there another hose or opening within the throat of the fuel fill? Can't imagine a kinked or bent hose...I've never worked on anything hose/bilge related to cause something like that. </TD></TR></TABLE> The fuel fill, on the inside, is where the vent is located. The fill and vent are combined into one . The hoses wont be kinked by you persay, but over time some hoses have a tendency to "sag" which would put a "u-shape" in the vent hose. Kinda like a trap under a sink!
