Just recently, when I take my car to put gas in, the gas pump handle begins to click as if my tank is already full! I've tried pulling the nozzle out and putting it all the way in to no avail.

Is there a sensor in the gas tank that "tells" the pump when the tank is full? Could this be the problem?

Thank you for your assistance!

The premature click is most likely an EVAP hose blocked, not venting the pressurized gas.
