fueling troubles

I have a 2001 F-350 7.3 diesel SD. I can count faster than I can fuel it, does anyone have a suggestion, Was there any known problems with the fillier neck or is it just my truck.

Our 02 F250 V10 does the same thing. I heard once before a supposal anit syphon ball is messing it up but I took the 02 apart once and found nothing. Hopefully somebody will chime in.

While looking in the filler neck Ive noyiced that the hose looks to be colapsed a bit im going to try wrapping and clamping it to open it fully and see if that helps.

Yes, make sure the hose is not collapsed, also look under and check the vent hose to make sure it is not kinked or blocked.

And for diesels, you can do the Harpoon mod which will let your tank fill all the way without having the nozzle click off early! https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/2...ml#post1762191
