Tried this...Seems to work well
I just got my new 2018 (leftover) 2500 159' and the first few fuel-ups had me steaming mad! After reading a few posts here and climbing under the van to verify that it does fill from the bottom...I figured I'd try to help the venting problem before taking it back to the dealer (was heading on a first trip with it).
I cut about a 2" piece of 2" schedule 40 PVC pipe and drilled 5 or 6 vent holes around it. Cleaned all the shavings well to not get anything in the tank. I place this at the filler neck before putting fuel nozzle in and it has worked very well a half-dozen or so fill-ups with out pump shutting off. I may still take it to the dealer for the new filler neck, or tank, or whatever they've come up with...but this keeps my sanity intact until then!!!
I'll try to post a pic here...but new to the forum...fingers crossed.
