<VV> Filling tank in early model

[HallGrenn at aol.com]

Patrick,
 
When I removed, cleaned and sealed (Clark's sealer) my '64 Greenbrier  tank 
I had a similar problem.  Over the course of several months it became  more 
and more difficult to fill the tank because the filler neck was partially  
obstructed with the slowly flowing sealer that was coating the top portion 
of  the tank (I had stored the tank upside down for a week after sealing 
before I  had time to reinstall it so the thick viscous sealer collected in a 
thicker  layer at the top).  I ended up punching a section of old garden hose  
down the filler neck to fully reopen it.  Problem solved.  You  might want 
to try it yourself to see if it solves your  filler neck problem.
 
Best of Luck, whatever the cause turns out to be.
 
Bob
