Fuel filling problems!

Hi guys!

After installing a Genright fuel tank awhile ago, I have experienced a very difficult time filling the tank. Fuel backs up and kicks the nozzle off every gallon or even 1/2 gallon. It's very frustrating. Today I checked the vent lines. I replace the rubber connecting vent hose from the fill line and blew air both ways - into the tank and up the vent tube out the main fill line. I thought I had it fixed. But NO.

Is there more than one baffle in the main fill line - just down from the gas cap? I haven't checked the main fill line - yet. I must have screwed something up trying to siphon gas out when I first changed the tank. The tank fill opening is clear and so is the tank vent opening.

The jeep is a '06 LJ Rubicon. Thanks!!

I've noticed that the jeep fuel hose is a little picky angle wise and I need to hold the pump nozzle up a little bit in the fuel spout or it does what you describe. the fuel hose itself runs at a weird angle not the typical straight downwards angle
