Default Clogged Fuel tank vent

A kink would certainly be it... I'll have climb down intothe engine
compartment and check that. The vent line runs down the port side and I am
not sure I can track it through its full travel. Thanks for the
suggestion...

Hi
Can you see the pipe?

It could have become 'kinked' and hence pass little or no air.

Hi - own a 1993 27' sundancer and have noticed that my fuel vent system
is clogged and not functioning properly. Not sure why or how it got
there, but I am looking for a practical way to free up the line. Because
the fuel tank is not properly venting when it is being filled results in
a slow fill and more likelihood of spillage due to overflow. Any ideas
would be greatly appreciated. Thx...
