I have a 2016 Ram 1500 Tradesman with a 25 gallon tank.
During my last fill up, it took about 15 minutes to add 10 gallons.
The delay was due to the gas backflow up the line to the tank - not due to the gas pump shutting off. Gas was flowing out of the truck.
No error codes.
From what I have read so far, any issue with the cannister would have an error code associated with it.
I plan on disconnecting the vent hose from the cannister and blowing it out.
Additionally, I plan to scope the fill line to see if the rollover valve may be stuck.

I've read through other threads, but nothing quite seemed to match.
Any diagnostic plans I should try? I really don't want to keep sinking more money in this truck if I don't have to.

Note that I have dropped off in driving recently, and moved to south part of central Florida. I fill up every 3-4 weeks typically.

Is it doing the same thing at different gas stations? Maybe the pump is just patheticly slow. Bring a gas gas with you and see how long it takes to fill a gallon or whatever size can you bring.

this wasn't a function of the pump. gas was glowing out of the tank due to inadequate venting.
