whenever i really want a full tank, the last 10-15 liters takes forever to get in the tank, due to the foaming diesel. i've heard that the Ford PSD forum describes a fuel tank mod that shortens an air escape tube that goes too far into the tank. has anybody here figured out how to get rid of the foam and fill up their 6.5 faster?

Sometimes the large bore nozzles for the big rigs seem to foam somewhat less.

I always use a large nozzel when filling and have never seen this problem.
Here on the east coast stations tend to sell "Auto Deisel" for $.20 a gallon more and ask you to take 4 times as long to fill up with those little nozzles. Time and money made me select the larger nozzel.
