Foaming fuel

[Diesel-Lover]

Has any one here had trouble with diesel fuel foaming and thereby causing the filler (gas station) nozzel to shut off before the tank is full (i.e. making one "spoon feed" the tank).

Is there a remedy for this problem. I have experienced this on my MB, Ford E350, and also on GM Diesel motor home.

On the MB if I position the fuel statin nozzel just so, it will fill properly, but it is a hit or miss process, generally ending in not being able to use the automatic shutoff process.

During my vacation this past two weeks, I literally had to spoon feed the tank, and 50 Gal takes a long time.

I notice the filler has some kind of slotted sleeve with a nozzle trap door(spring loaded), the foam comes up through the slots, perhaps I should take the slotted sleeve thing totally off, or will that make the problem worse?

Removing the contraption will also allow me to use the truck fuel pumps.

I had the least problem during the trip in KY ! Most in TN and TX but have experienced this issue off and on in many places.

Thank you for any and all constructive input.
