I checked under my unit and I also have a situation where my vent line is slightly lower then the entry to the tank. When I push it up, I can hear fuel falling into the tank, so it sounds like the same issue as others have had.
What I could not find is how some of you may have fixed it by raising it. Sadly, it seems Dynamax used zip ties when they were supposed to affix the line to the frame tabs as in the design. BUT, since mine is zip tied, and I have zero ability in that area, permanently attaching the line to the tabs, how have some of you gone about lifting that line up a bit near the inlet to the fuel tank?
I have nothing to anchor the lines to even if I wanted to raise it just a bit with another zip tie. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

There SHOULD be a bracket welded to the underfloor structure at the back of the rig where the diesel fill pipe curves around and heads for the side of the coach. On very early rigs (2017), there is a propane tank in the last bay on the drivers side and later rigs, it was the battery bay. If you open the door for that bay, you should be able to see it up towards the floor. That bracket exists to be the support for the fill pipe (as per dynamax blueprints). I would GUESS that your fill pipe is nowhere near it though and it should be. Here is how I choose to attach my fill pipe to that bracket:

It's also worth noting that you cannot and should not be running the generator while filling. That will also give you a great deal of grief.
I also tidied the entire fill tube, vent tube/hose and generator fuel return hose because I just could not handle how it was done at dynamax. This is what I did:
