I have a trailer with generator under the neck and a built in gas tank under the trailer, I think it holds about 30 gallions. I don't use the generator alot so I hadn't neede to fill up the gas tank yet in the 2 years that I have had the trailer. Last year a pressure valve was bad on the tank and fuel was leaking out of the top. I had the tank pulled and the valve replaced. I just went to fill the tank for the 1st time this week. The guage says I have about half a tank which sounded about right but I couldn't get the fuel to go in. It kept overflowing out the spout and I went as slow as I could possibly go. It got me thinking that maybe they didn't replace the valve that was bad??? Or does anyone have any other ideas why I can't get it to take the gas? I don't think the guage is wrong as I have used it periodically and should not have a full tank. Not sure how long it runs on a gallion of gas though to know how much I have used.

That is what it acts like. I am calling the place that removed the tank today and hopefully they will fix it for me no charge. It has been over a year but this is the 1st time I have filled it.
