no start after refueling

Recently fueled up at a station in Oregon, so an attendant had to pump the diesel. Anyway, he tops it off, filling it to the cap. After paying, I tried to start the truck but couldn't. It took 3 ten-second cranks to get the truck started, but it finally started and I'm on my way. I drove another 1500 miles, filled up several times an never had another problem.

I remember somewhere reading that there is an overflow switch on the 05-06 psd's that sets off a CEL (?) or something like that. I don't know much about the systems, but could this have somehow caused the difficult start?

I put on another 1500 miles and never had another problem with a difficult start, but I don't overfill the tank. What do you folks think?

Fill my '05 PSD to the brim every time and never a problem except occasionally I have to use some of the fuel for the gage to read correctly.

Were you almost out or very low when you filled up. Could have had some air in the fuel line if so.
