2023 PUMA. Another gas tank question

2023 puma with 250 pro XS. Trouble filling port side tank once it gets to about 3/4 full. I can see it has another couple inches left to fill in the tank…….but once it gets almost full, it will only take a small volumes of gas a a time. I can hear a sort of hissing sound as this is going on. Some sort of obstruction to a vent tube? thanks

The new gates have a partial grid molded in to prevent nozzle intrusion. This made the angle more critical, and rolling the nozzle hose at the inside 330 degree point with the bow seems to help filling.

If that doesn’t help, it may have a lower limit FLVV in the tank, shutting off venting.
