Is it rusted and leaking,only when filling at gas pump? Check where leak is. eg rubber hose or pipe. You can remove and solder pin holes. Kind of old to look for a new part.

Your fuel filler tube is leaking somewhere above the level of the fuel tank, If you lay on your back and look up you may see a flexible tube on the filler pipe, try to tighten the clamps or replace the hose. I hope this helps, Take care. Merry Christmas.
Really sounds like someone or something has plugged up your fill pipe. Is there any chance someone has done this?
For a fix, if you will look under the car, you will see a place where the metal fill pipe meets the metal extension coming up from the gas tank. Between them is a rubber hose with a metal clamp on each end. You could loosen those clamps and remove the rubber pipe, and then see if something is plugging that, and where. The gas tank is removable, but both that and the rubber hose will be a "big job'.
God bless your efforts.
There is not much to go on here. Is it belching fuel back out of the fuel tank when your putting gas in. If so, there is a vent tube that goes down into the tank and if it is out of place, the tank can't get air while your fueling. Check your fill tube.
Brother John, you've removed as much as you can for access to the filler. Remove the hose clamps/bands that secure the fill tube and vent tube and then remove the screws around the gas cap that secure the fill tube to the body. With the gas cap off, go below and pull the hose and filler neck down and work the hoses lose with a pair of channel lock pliers and sticking a screwdriver between the metal tube and hose to break the seal. Put on the new filler neck and stick it back up in the body and put the screws back in. THEN put the hose clamps back up and tighten them, put the gas cap back on and your done.
The fuel tank fill tube or fill tube vent pipe for the fuel tank is either clogged with something or the anti-siphon feature (what stops people from stealing your gas) is fouled up. The tank and fill tube have to be inspected.
i had an old f 150 that did that so i removed the fill pipe and inside is a smaller vent tube to let air out as your filling it with fuel, i removed the smaller tube and it works great lol ,,, for some reason some of them are either positioned wrong or the tube may be to long and it wont let the air up the fill pipe, but ya its a big pain if its cold outside and you have to stand there for half a day to fill your tank
Disconnect the negative battery cable and relieve the fuel system pressure.
Siphon or pump as much fuel as possible out through the fuel filler pipe.
Fuel injected vehicles have reservoirs inside the fuel tank to maintain fuel near the fuel pick-up during cornering or low-fuel operation. These reservoirs could block siphon hoses or tubes from reaching the bottom of the fuel tank. Repeated attempts, using different hose orientations, can overcome this obstacle.
Raise and safely support the vehicle.
If equipped, remove the skid plate attaching bolts, then lower the plate and remove it.
On Explorer/Mountaineer models, the front fuel tank strap is bolted to the skid plate and will be disconnected when the plate is removed.
Disconnect the fuel fill and vent hoses connecting the filler pipe to the tank.
On vehicles equipped with a metal retainer fastening the filler pipe to the fuel tank, remove the screw holding the retainer to the fuel tank flange.
Disengage the fuel lines and the electrical connections to the fuel tank sending unit/fuel pump assembly. On some vehicles, these are inaccessible on top of the tank. In this case, they must be disconnected when the tank is partially lowered.
Place a safety support (such as a floor jack) under the fuel tank and remove the bolts from the fuel tank straps. Allow the straps to swing out of the way. Be careful not to deform the fuel tank.
On Ranger vehicles, the rear fuel tank strap has two connections which must be unbolted.
Lower the tank a few inches, then detach the fuel lines and electrical connection from the sending unit/fuel pump assembly, if required.
Remove the tank from the vehicle.
To install:
Before installation, it would be wise to perform the following:
Double-check the tightness of the sending unit/fuel pump locking ring. If it is already loose, now would be a good time to remove it and check the condition of the gasket underneath.
Ensure that all metal shields are reinstalled in their original positions and that the fasteners are secure.
Be sure that the fuel vapor valve is completely installed on top of the fuel tank.
Make all necessary fuel line or wiring connections which will be inaccessible after the fuel tank is installed.
Raise the fuel tank into position in the vehicle. If necessary, attach the fuel lines and sending unit electrical connector before the tank is in its final position.
Lubricate the fuel filler pipe with a water-based lubricant. Install the tank onto the filler pipe, then bring the tank into final position. Be careful not to deform the tank.
Position the tank straps around the tank and start the retaining nut or bolt. Align the tank with the straps. If equipped, be sure the fuel tank shields are installed with the straps and are positioned correctly.
Check the hoses and wiring on top of the tank. Make sure they are correctly routed and will not be pinched between the tank and body.
Tighten the fuel tank strap retaining nuts or bolts to 20-5 ft. lbs. (3-41 Nm).
If not already attached, connect the fuel hoses and lines. Make sure the fuel supply, fuel return (if present) and the vapor vent attachments are made properly. If not already attached, connect the sending unit.
If removed, install the fuel tank skid plate.
Lower the vehicle.
Fill the tank with fuel and check all connections for leaks.
there is a vent tube that runs along side the fuel tank fill pipe, this tube allows air to went out as fuel is put in,if it kinks (it is very soft thin plastic tube) then u end up with your problem, replace the vent tube, the fill pipe and vent tube come as one part.
hi if you look into filler pipe you will see a flap/restrictor just inside this is to prevent wron fuel filler nozzle from entering so unless you put the correct fuel nozzle fully into tank fill pipe and this pushes flap open you will experience slow filling ALSO? to put fuel in tank the air inside must be able to displace emit from tank ok this is done via a hose from tank and is usually clipped along side the filler pipe under wheel arch below filler check and ensure this pipe is clear and also free from kinks? as this if blocked will not allow displacement of air from tank as fuel level increases? hope this is clear enough for you to understand?
