When fueling the fill tube closes and spits gas out can this be fixed at home?

Newer vehicles tend to have this problem as filler necks are getting smaller. Try pulling back on the fuel nozzle and tilting down. This has never failed for me. Some nozzles have very high pressure (most don’t) so don’t fuel with the handle fully depressed. If this does not solve the problem then see a good mechanic and have your little truck checked out.
