I've been going to the same couple of gas stations for years.I recently stopped at the local 711,which I primarily use, and noticed that there were new fuel nozzles installed on the pumps.I went to pump my gas and the nozzle won't fit in the tank.The nozzle is much shorter and is mostly straight so it can't make the bend into the fuel tank inlet.So,I left there concerned and ended up getting gas at the Racetrac,which I have also used for many years.I never went back to 711.Today,I needed gas so I went to Racetrack and lo and behold...new nozzles which won't fit my tank.I ended up at WAWA which still has the old type nozzles and I finally was able to get gas.What are we supposed to do here?I was planning a long road trip but I'm concerned that I'll be stranded with no way to get gas.I should mention I have a 2016 1500 Big Horn

This is really weird! I’m not totally surprised but the fact that you can’t fill up is very unusual. The only issue I run into is the pump stops constantly. I find Esso pumps are the worst for that. They maybe fill up too fast for our gas tank inlets [emoji2369]. I have a hard time getting most nozzles in and out but never the issue you’re describing !

Maybe someone will have to invent an adapter for our trucks lol.

There is a revised fuel filler pipe with a better angle. There are several threads about it.
part number is:
68448220AA

I had to get the same sort of funnel but without the bends for my diesel Grand Cherokee. Found a few occasions when I'd be running on fumes and station after station only had the large high volume pump handles.
Found an adapter kit with storage container at a Volkswagon site of all places.
Cost was cheap.
I'll dig it up and post a pic or 2 if it will work for the Ram as well.
