Pros and cons of moving gas filler to the trunk

I think I found my problem, got under the car yesterday and found that the vent check valve was laying on its side, that means that the check ball is closed and not venting.
I ordered hose and a union to extend the vent to a location where I can mount it permanently vertical, hoping that solves my problem.

Did that fix your problem? I have the same issue with my 64, I thought I had just forgotten how to pump gas.
Never had a car with this issue. As some members mentioned up top, I just have to slowly fill the tank.
