That was my first assumption, but severity of the issue does vary with nozzle angle while filling...if it was a vent somewhere else that was the problem, I can't see how angling the nozzle different would let me fill faster. However, it's certainly possible that I'm full of shit on that.
Continuing to assume it's the manufacturer's fault since all reviewers had the same problem: Any thoughts on potential design/manufacturing defects that could cause venting failure?
More importantly, any thoughts on what I can do about it when it's negative sixty billion degrees out and there's a trillion feet of snow? I need an easy, fast hack. I was thinking of running a hose down the filler neck and have it exit near the top of the neck. I could drill a hole at the top of the filler neck without asploding and without leaving shavings in the tank by stuffing oily rags down the filler neck (with strings tied on to pull them out). I'd cap the hose all the time and just un-cap it while filling.
