I had the same problem with my Class C, 2011 Ford E-350 chassis. Thought it was the fuel vent hose (clogged, pinched, twisted...whatever). While passing through Elkhart we stopped at the Nexus factory for some minor mods and I had them check out my fueling dilemma.
The vent hose was fine but it turns out the fuel fill hose had a twist in it from the Ford factory that restricted the flow enough that the pump would keep burping/shutting off. The boys at Nexus found the twist, pulled the hose, reinstalled it correctly and then added 5 gallons of gas just to be sure they had cured the problem.
When I asked for a bill they said "No charge. Ford's error but we should have caught it when we built your coach." {My compliments to Nexus for some first class customer service as I was not the original owner and the coach was 18+ months out of warranty}. The next day it sucked down $175 (about 48 gallons), without a single burp. Your gotta love having a 55 gallon tank... except when it is time to pay at the pump.
