Try this . I work on gas pumps and point of sale systems for a living so I am at stations all day long . I see diesel truck owners trying to fill up and they have problems since Diesel foams so bad . Especially on older Fords since the fill tube runs level until it gets inside the frame of the truck . The cure seems to be using a 4x6 piece of lumber cut at an angle so you drive up on it . They keep it in the truck and drive the rear tire up on it to give the truck a little lean away from the filler neck . They always take fuel better this way . It might be worth a try . Frank
