Default Gas pumping problem

Ok, I have an 01 Monte Carlo SS 3.8L and when I go to pump gas the pump clicks off constantly unless I barely squeeze the handle. I wouldn't mind if I weren't taking long trips in it so often but it is kind of a pain...

Usually means the vent tube is clogged up. Aside from unclogging it some tricks are to pull the nozzle out some, or i've also heard turning it upside down stops the issue. Mine does it sometimes but i usually just pull the nozzle out a bit and carry on.
