What could indicate a problem with a fuel tank’s venting system?

Difficulty in refueling can indicate a problem with a fuel tank’s venting system because proper venting is essential for allowing air to escape as fuel is added to the tank. If the venting system is blocked or malfunctioning, a vacuum can form inside the tank as fuel is dispensed, making it increasingly difficult to get fuel into the tank. This situation can lead to various issues, such as fuel spitting back or even a complete inability to refuel. In contrast, rapid fuel transfer might suggest that the venting system is functioning well since it allows for fluid movement without obstruction. Increased fuel temperature is also unrelated to venting directly but is influenced by environmental conditions and not indicative of venting issues. Lower fuel prices do not correlate to the performance of the venting system, as they are influenced by market dynamics rather than operational conditions. Thus, the correct indication of a venting system problem is found in the difficulties encountered during the refueling process.
