Default Can't fill gas tank

When I went to go fill my tank today as soon as I started to fill it gas started spewing out of a hole on top of where you fill the tank
anyone know what's going on is it some kind of clog?

first try a different gas pump altogether, and of course make sure the nozzle is all the way inside the filler hole.

Two possibilities to check:
Evap cannister or the filler tube breather hose. Probably the later has an obstruction.
