Default 01 durango gas pumping issues

I been expericing trouble filling up my gas tank at the pumps. The pump clicks off repeatedly while trying to pump gas. At first I thought it was the pump as it would work fine at some pumps. But lately it has become a pain, I have to barely squeeze out gas to fill up. 20 minutes at pump 100 degrees outside RIDCULOUS!! Can anybody help me?

your vent on the tnk is probably clogged or the vent on the filling neck is clogged causeing too much pressure to build up and the pumps sense the backpressure and cut off becuase they think the tank is full. just an idea i had that problem once and its what it turned out to be . there is a vent tube ontop of the tank its hard to get to and usually gets clogged up with mud or dirt dobbers .

Look up inside the fender well and find where the fuel tank filler mounts to the fuel door. There is a small 2" rubber hose that attaches the fill door to the tank trunk line into the fuel cell. This small hose can become kinked between the 2. Make sure there is no kink.

Def vac issue. The lines are hard to see up there but certainly you will find one cracked.
