Default fuel not going in

Hey has anyone had an issue with getting fuel into their tanks? The pump just kicks out, unless I squeeze it in slowly. I have pulled off the box and confirmed that the fuel and vent lines to the tank are clean. Not sure what to do next. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

Does this happen all the time? I had this happen before, but I just vary how deep the gas outlet pipe is in the tank fill tube. It works then. If this happens every time I have no other suggestion. I then to notice this issue more with the pumps that have the outer sleeve that recaptures fumes.

Yes, it happens all the time. I have tried your method numerous times to no avail. Thanks all the same anyways.

Here is something I found. It seems like this is a pretty common issue across all brands. I did not read all the discussion, but maybe there is something here.
