Default Fuel filler

I have a 2013 Dodge Ram 1500, does anyone else have a problem getting fuel in their vehicle? I was having trouble at the gas pump. The truck would not take the gas, the pump would keep shutting off. Finally found the problem, ask me how I fixed the problem.

my guess is....the fresh air filter to the esim was full of dirt....have seen a clogged filter cause the fuel tank to suck in so hard...the tank flexed over and rubbed into the driveshaft. If the bottom of your tank is concave...change the filter.

You’re right, the filter was completely clogged with dirt. The filter is located near the top of the filler, but you have to get to it from under the vehicle.

you off-road a lot? Usually, its the oil rig trucks or farming trucks that see gravel roads that plug up.

when you fill, the tank vents air out thru the canister out that filter line. when the engines running...air is drawn in that line to equalize tank pressure.

Yes, I farm so I’m in the walnut orchard every day, pretty dusty out there.
