Filling gas problem
Hi F150 fans !
I'm the happy owner of a 1985 F150 XLT Lariat 302.
I have a little problem :
Not possible to fill correctly my gasoline tank. It takes more than 25 minutes to fill the complete 65 liters tank (Yes, really!!!)
I think it's an air problem, but I'm not sure.
I tried to find a solution to dismantle the hose from fill point to tank, I only saw a plastic hose into my gasoline hose, I think it's for the air to make the filling easy.
Did someone have a schema of this part of my truck? or did someone solved already this problem?
Many thanks in advance !!!

It's very common either for the outer rubber hose to collapse, or for the inner plastic hose to kink or distort enough to interfere with filling. The best fix is to simply swap to the later ('87-96) filler neck, shown in this photo, and common in junkyards:
