new 2018 ram cummins....3k miles.....today showed 1/4 tank so i filled it. However it didn't fill only went to 1/2 tank and nozzle shut off...I checked filler cap(looked in) and I can see the diesel fuel....so could this be a problem with the check valve ?? there are no kinks anywhere and now its leaking diesel out of the filler cap area.....great

any ideas would be appreciated
thanks

When you put the nozzle in did you make sure to push it in all the way? There are 2 flaps in the capless systems that have to be passed in order for it full properly and not keep shutting off.

With your jack tools there will be a white funnel that is used to push into the filler neck for filling with a jerry can etc. Use that to push both the flaps and see if the fuel drains to the tank.
