Fuel shut off during filling of the fuel tank

Saab 9-3 SS, SC, CV with diesel engines from MY -03.
In some cars, it is hard to fill the fuel tank due to restriction in
the fuel tank ventilation hose.

from ventilation blue cover and clean the inside of the pipe.

Make a simple tool as shown below. Bend a steel wire 500 mm long
(20 inches) in the middle. Locate a piece of cloth (cotton) in the loop (proper
size to fit inside the hose). Twist the wires.
|
|
4.
|
Insert and move/turn the "tool" through the ventilation hose in
to the blue cover until the hose is clean. Use a dry cloth. Do
NOT
use any liquids, cleaning agents or solvents when cleaning the
tube.

hose.
