Yep, this happens when the gas filler neck needs to be replaced due internal blockage or the EVAP vent valve need to be replaced. You can try the vent valve first because it is easiest but chances are the filler neck will be the problem. Here are images and the locations of both. Check out the images (below). Please upload pictures or videos in your response of any problems so we can see what to help you with.
