Problem to fill the gaz tank

[2003 spec v quebec]

Hi i'm having problem with my 2003 sentra spec v. I can't fill up my gaz tank normally. I have to put gaz a drop at a time. And its takes to much time to start. I think both things are reliated. Can you help me to find the part(s) in trouble.

Thanks

You didn't provide us with very many details, just some basic information. Based on what you have told us, I would suggest checking the vent hoses that run along side of your filler tube. If these are clogged, the air inside the tank will not be able to escape when filling the tank with gas. You would have to slow the stream in order to equalize the pressure. The hoses run along side of the main filler tube and actually vent just under the lip that you insert the gas nozzle into. If you need a picture of these vent hoses, reference pages FL7 and FL8 of the FSM.

There another thing too, when i'm riding, sometimes the car seems to have a misfire but i think that it is caused by the vent hose. Can it be that?

if you're not throwing any codes then yes it could be. If the vent hose is clogged then air cannot replace the gas when it is being used, causing a vacuum. Of course, there is a little more to the system with the evap lines and all that stuff, but in theory, yes, that could be the cause of the problem too. Many things could be causing a misfire though, so let us know what you find when you inspect your vent hose.

Probably cuz you're trying to put gaz in it.
