I have a Hemi Dodge ram 2500
the last few months I have been having problems trying to put fuel in the tank. It acts like it has a full tank, the pump just clicks and you have to barely squeeze the pump just to get gas into the tank.
Please help

Craw under the truck where the fuel filler tube is. You will see a large steel pipe where the fuel goes which attaches to a rubber hose and then into the fuel tank. Along side is a smaller hose that goes from the tank to the top of the steel filler tube. That is a breather tube that allows air to exit the tank while fuel enters it. If it is damaged or plugged, no air can escape. As a result, fuel can't enter. Check that hose for damage. Also, you may need to remove it to make sure it isn't plugged.

Let me know what you find.
