Any ideas on how to get the gen/fuel station tanks to fill up without it taking FOREVER and spilling all over?
Thanks

check the vent. if that's ok, then the fill hose must be raised above the level of the top of the tank. try filling with a hose that actually gets inserted ALL THE WAY INTO THE TANK - not just the filler neck.

What SAR Tracker said. In my case the hose coming from the tank slopes down as it gets closer to the neck. This makes the fuel back up and the fuel station pump will shut off. I have found two ways around this.
1. Before a trip I bring home one of my service trucks that is equipped with a fuel transfer pump. I attach a hose to the end of the nozzle. So when I pump the fuel is sent all the way down passed the point where the fuel backs up. But of course the transfer pump is slower than a gas station pump so it still takes a while.
2. Back the driver’s side of the trailer over a leveling block. This will raise the driver’s side of the trailer and help the fuel move down the like faster.
