Default Pump shutting off when filling up

I've been having issues filling up at the pump. I squeeze the handle and it shuts off around $0.15. I have to barely squeeze it and hold it to fill up. I replaced the vent solenoid because that's what a few shops said was the problem. That didn't fix it. What do I need to do to fix this? Thanks

Air is not able to escape the tank, has to be the EVAP line from the top of the fuel bucket to the charcoal box thing. Pulling out the nozzle slightly may help also.

I've tried barely putting the nozzle in and it still does it. I'd really like to fix it so it doesn't take 15 minutes to fill up

Use a lighter to see if there is an obstruction.

I had a truck once and when they replaced a fuel pump they put the fill hose on facing the wrong direction. They put the tank in place and just pulled the hose around to the fill door causing it to link/pinch shut. Might be worth checking out on yours

More than likely you have a Evap canister plugged and or a Evap vent valve plugged.
