Welcome aboard!

www.transferflow.com . Look for the improved filler neck. It's expensive, but a 100% fix.

It shouldn't be that bad. Check for a kink in the filler pipe or the vent. Check the pipe for obstructions, like paper wads, golf/rubber balls, bananas, etc. (you might have PO'd someone and didn't know it). Also, newer gas cans (in CA, anyway) have a "no spill" spout, which doesn't work for filling, or spilling. Funny thing is, it states right on the can label "not for filling motor vehicles".

The Transferflow upgrade was less than $80 when they first released it. Looks like greed is everywhere. $200 is crazy. Not much more than that will get a complete tank, and it comes with the filler. They're too proud of their stuff for my wallet. I'd fill up with a straw and teaspoon before I paid that.

Is there an anti-siphon mechanism in there somewhere?

I can fill mine at the fastest rate most pumps deliver, probably 12 or so gallons per minute.

I thank you guys for the threads I finally got a chance to work on my truck . I took the hose off the fill neck and the smaller plastic hose may have had a kink in it . I hope I'm on the mend ,thanks again larry
