fuel filler problems

Bend the points a bit and use something beveled to try to set it.

I did it years ago and had to adjust it a bunch, without loosing it down too far. It was not much fun. I had wished I could tack it with a welder, but I didn't want to explode or drain and disconnect the tank so I fought through. Good luck.

Sounds Lile the tank's not venting. Have you blown compressed air into the vent tube to make sure it's clean? Does Pennsylvania have the body seal on the gas pump handle like CA?
