Gas Tank Vent Issue?

[Doug Hilliard]

I'm not sure this is the right place to post this but I've got a problem and wonder if anyone has seen this:

The last few times I've filled up my tank, I can't get the gas to go into it initially and it acts like there is an obstruction. I put the gas cap back on, crank it, shut down, take the cap off and then it will fill OK. I mentioned it to Rick and he thought it might be a vent problem so yesterday I went to fill it up, it wouldn't take the gas again and it appears to be venting air from inside the tank to the outside through the fill tube. I let it sit to equalize and then it filled just fine. Any idea what's going on here? Is it an issue with the gas cap itself?

Thanks for the feedback! I'll take a look at a shop manual and see if I can figure it out. Mine's way out of warranty!
