Default Hard to add fuel

OK, I have search high and low for a solution to this problem and can't find a thing. Here is my problem.

When my fuel tank is empty, I can't add gas unless I do so as slowly as possible. If I attempt to pump gas at a faster rate, the filler neck overflows all over the side of the truck. After about 3 gallons are registered on the pump, I can pump at half speed.

Any thoughts?

Vent tube is clogged or mess up somewhere. It is the skinny tube that runs beside the big tube filler tube.

Thanks. That is what I thought was wrong, but wanted a sanity check. Any thoughts on the best way to clean this, or should I just replace the whole neck?

I would remove the neck and see if you can pass something down through the part you remove.
