Wouldn't you have to remove the sealed filler cap to be able to blow through 
the tank vent?

And doesn't the vent come off the top of the tank so you wouldn't hear any 
bubbling anyway?

If that pipe is blocked you get fuel starvation as air cannot replace the 
fuel used when running, it can't put fuel in the canister.
