Hi, I have a 86 XJ, and have some problems with filling fuel. (I tried searching, found a lot but nothing relevant, please point me in the right direction if this has been discussed before).
When I start filling the gas gun clicks after just a few seconds, it believes the tank is full. Gas seem to foam up into the filler tube. It doesn't overflow, but gas level is up to top of filler neck, then sinks.
I had a theory. I have dented the tank up off road, and the filler tube extends to a little over the bottom of the tank. When dented, it's almost tight allowing the fuel to enter the tank very slowly. But all diagrams and drawings I've seen there is nothing like that in the filler tube.
Any ideas?
