Canada 2000 Echo gas tank problem

It now takes me at least 10 minutes to fill my tank because the hose keeps stopping as if the tank is full...even though I have pumped less than $1 when it starts doing this. I know other Echos have this problem. Does anyone know if there is a recall about this? If not, how do you fix it?

I have not had this problem but have heard that there is a small vent line that runs up the filler neck that gets clogged with rust and that prevents the tank from venting when filling. Hope this helps.

Would have been nice if the poster had got back to us to tell us what fixed his problem.
