I could only fill the fuel tank about 3/4 full then I have to trickle in the last few gallons. I took the vent hose off and blew into it till my ear drums popped out. I took the other end off at the canaster and try to blow some compressed air tru it. about an inch in to the hose it seems to be blocked. So My question is.... Is there some kind of check valve in that hose or is it clogged. The red in the picture shows how far my blow gun goes before it stops.

I really don't know the answer to your question, but did you check to see if there was a waffle iron wedged in there?

LOL No waffle iron, but it does make me think of a syrup delivery system.

I took the hose off and it filled up fine. so I replaced it with a piece of fuel line that I had on hand. If I get a chance I'll dissect the old hose and see whats up with it.
