I have a 98 chevy blazer. The little valve flap that closes off the tank were you put the fuel in is stuck open. I need to know how to fix it! Can you tell me?

The fill neck flap is part of the neck. Not hard to change out. Remove the cap, remove the two lines from the neck between the tank and the neck, take out the screws holding the neck to the body and remove the neck down and out. Reverse to install a replacement. Usually the flap only sticks if it's bent OR the spring fails.
