Fueling DP is SLOWWWWW

HELP!! I've read a lot of post on this subject but most of them are older. I'm hoping something new has come up or someone has a trick for me to try...I have 2003 DP with duel fillers. It holds 100 gallons. I've only filled up twice so far but haven't been able to get it completely full either time. I get to what I think is about 10-15 gallons from full and lose patience! At somewhere around 85 gallons it will click off and get the burp. This using the car lanes and slowest fill speed. From there, it will take me another 20-30 minutes to get 5 or 6 more gallons...it foams up and backs up the filler tube even when I manually pump at the slowest speed I can get it to come out. I've tried opening the other side, looking at the air breather hoses, and today, I used the jacks to raise up the side I was pumping on...nothing seems to work to cut down the foam...Any other suggestions? The rest of my first 750 mile trip was a pleasure and only minor "learning points"...but this was down right frustrating...
