I had this happen several years ago and long enough ago that I don't
specifcally rememberr what I did to rmedy it, but the cause was the
clogged vent pipe that runs right under the filler nozzle.  I think I
had sealed a connection with some siliicone and it swelled up
blocking the airflow or something like that.  MOTS:  Don't silicone
your fuel lines!!
