Can I have the year--make--model--engine size? The air in the tank has to go somewhere or it will burp back up the fill pipe and shut the pump off. There may be a vent tube that is blocked or something going on with evap system, maybe both. Did you try different gas pump?
Sounds like the vent for the tank may be defective. The vent is on top of the gas tank between the tank and the floor of the trunk. Or there is a blockage in the fill pipe for the tank below the connector hose. You may have to have someone remove the tank and inspect it.
That panel should come off easily. Under the hood you should see the retaining screws holding it. Might be rusty as all heck now, and screws might break off, but can always be drilled and new screws attached, when you put it back together.
It sounds like the vent tube on the gas tank may be either plugged, or partially pinched off. Once you start putting gas into it, and have a gallon or two in, does it improve? If the vent is blocked, the only venting you are getting will be around the fill tube you are putting fuel into. Until you get the problem addressed, the only solution is to fill the tank at a reduced rate. Hope this helps.
check the tank is it plastic... if so drop the tank pour gas in bucket if black stuff in the gas take a water hose and spray it out wait till dry put it back on and put gas and try to start it,,, if fuel pump in tank replace it... please let me know how it turns out,,, good luck
Either the Gas Cap is shot or the tank vent is clogged. First thing i would recommend would be to try swapping the gas cap for one from another car (without the same problem).
The Gas Cap should be a vented style cap, but if it quits it can build up pressure inside the tank. If swapping the cap doesn't stop the pressure, than the vent is clogged, it's on top of the tank
you may have a plogged vent line or the syphon gaurd may be getting stuck i never heard of this so i dont really know how to fix it but i can do some checking with older mechanics at work and see if they have seen something like it.
