It just spit it back out like its full. Any way I can get some gas in the tank to have it looked at. Anyway to bypass the valve to get gas in the tank?

The vent for the gas tank is clogged some how. There is not a work around. Depending upon configuration you will have to have it cleared out. Some you can remove from tank others are more complicated. If you leave a little room for air to escape form around the nozzle you can probably slowly fill the tank.
