Does anyone else have issues with the fuel filler not taking a full nozzle of fuel? All of my tanks don't seem to fill fast -- i've checked the tank vents and they are clear and can blow through them. The 2 inch fuel filler hoses are not kinked and are aimed directly to the top of the tanks. It seems as soon as i pull the trigger it starts backing up and shuts off the nozzle or worse it spits it out... Makes refueling even more painful than paying for itCool

The 2 saddle tanks only have 10inch hoses and they are problematic....

Any thoughts?

I have the same issue on my boat saddle tanks. I just have to go slow. I discovered if I hold the nozzle "up" meaning don't let it relax on the hole, push it opposite direction I can fill a lot faster.

Good article + vid on how the pump nozzle works to give you an idea on how to fix or get around this...possibly:

Try turning the nozzle around backwards, 180 degrees. I have to do this on some vehicles and it makes things a lot better/faster,.

Yup, "trigger" facing up.
Always have to do that on mine.

I had that problem. One belly tank with port and starboard fills. If I loosened the other cap, no burps, so I figured maybe the fuel vent hose was sketchy. Replaced it and the vent itself. Problem solved. I think the vent hose may have failed partially and would act up occasionally, thus the burps.

Good videos' in there.
And the engineer update to the article even said to flip the nozzle.

Thank god for those pressure sensing nozzles also in both the videos.
Even with them I hate the dipshiits that hang the nozzle back up with the lever depressed.
Must of been an old one at a diesel pump one time on me, as soon as swiped my card and hit the diesel button, fuel sprayed everywhere.
Glad it wasn't pointed at truck yet.
