The problem seemed to start all of a sudden. I have to keep the nozzle mostly out of the neck and hold it so it is centered in the hole. I can only pump the gas in at a trickle. I have had this problem every gas station I go to.
On the side of the fuel filler neck or tube there is a vent pipe and hose attached... Suspect blockade inside that vent hose to tank... Air got to escape from tank as gas goes in!
