A Borescope is worth saving for. I've had one for 20 years fixing Turbines and I decided to stick it down my filler neck and look at the inside of my diesel tank for any shiny parts in there. I'll see if my Nikon will couple and send some pics for giggles.
Oh it was 6k 20 years ago with no video, optics are excellent for even now. Thinner the better on the guide tube if your thinking of getting one.

Hey guys, I figured out the problem. There is a small hose above the main DEF filler hose. I rubbed all of the dirt off of it with my fingers and that was it. She poured in no problem.
Obviously the hose above is for air. It was really dirty. I keep my truck fairly clean but have never cleaned under there before. Hopefully the dirt can't make its way into urea reservoir too easily.
Sorry it took me a week to post answer

the crank TRIES to turn with the starter.
need room in the shop!.. 69 chevy longbed with an LM7 EFI motor & trans, dropped and on airbags, disc brakes all around, cab chopped, windshield layed back. floor pans replaced. just have to get motivated to get back to welding and grinding.. can we go FWing instead!?!
29 ford sedan, custom chassis, needs finish welded, still gotta get the dropped axle and split wishbone. rebuild the 322 nailhead engine and 700-r4 tranny to go in it. got the 9in rear already.
and of course the 56 ford big window truck, with the LM7 engine and trans, need to finish the dash repair, then prep for paint, so I can put the new wiring harness in and the power windows..
did I mention the FW and dually are calling my name?!

Very entertaining guys here haha.
To get back to the situation tho, I hope this is not a problem for all of us. As the DEF fluid goes down the DEF tank will be sucking in air through that small hose. If there is dirt on the end it will be sucking dirt into the DEF tank! We may need to put a little cap on there, right?

My filler tube is ‘like new’, there is no way this thing is blocked and I cannot get the air to go into the jug. As posted above, I need to squeeze the jug, when I can no longer squeeze the thing I need to back it out a bit and let air back into the jug. Maybe I’m doing something wrong but following this process I can get 2 jugs into the tank when I get the 500 mile warning.
