Question fuel foaming alot

Hey there guys. I am having some trouble with my fuel tank. I get a enormous amount of foaming when i fill up...actually, i have never filled up because it wont let me. I replaced some of the beather house but not all because i havent had time to drop the tank. any other ideas? Maybe pump is pumping too fast and causing foaming??

Mostly normal.
Try the truck pumps.
What causes the foam is the auto shut off on the nozzle. Look at the tip of the nozzle and you will see a small hole on the bottom near the tip. If you can cover this hole there will be no foam.
Personally I don't worry about it, see no reason to fill the tank to the brim.
