Default Gas tank problem.

For some reason I can not put gas in my tank full flow I have to barely squeeze the trigger at the pump. Does Anyone know why this is?
Also it only holds half a tank no matter what.

Just give me some ideas on where to look please.

Check the crossover jet pump/tubes?

I'm currently in the process of changing my 2004 fuel system to pre-03 style because I was having a myriad of fuel problems, one of which was trickle-in to fill up + and only half capacity.

Default Thanks, I thought it was just my car with the problem.

I found this link what letter is this crossover jet?


Can you give me a ball park of where the jet would be? Ill be under there next week doing the venom mod for this notchy shifter I will pull whatever I need to pull then when I have access to a lift.

The crossover jet pump should be a lil non-electrical device(?) that is near one of the two tanks... But I may be speaking out of my rear.

However, to access the crossover tube, it sits up really high, and looks like a dryer hose with a lot of rings.

Over at corvetteforum, I think there are few posts related to how to clean out the jet pump.

What year is your car?
