hard to fill with gas

Not sure about the vapor nozzles, pretty sure our nozzles out here in NC don't have them, and I still have the overflow issue every time if I let it "fill up".

The OP didn't describe a clicking off problem, but instead an overflowing problem. If his is like mine, it overflows well before the pump clicks off.

California is one of the few places I've been that had those silly vapor nozzles that won't pump the gas unless it's way down into the filler and compressing the vapor shield, it acts like a switch that turns the pump on and off. The problem with those is that you have to stick the nozzle so far down into the filler that it constantly burps back the gas and shuts the pump off, a real pain in the butt to fill any of our cars out there, especially the classics with the filler in the rear behind the license plate.
What I end up doing is physically grabbing that vapor shield and pulling back the switch by hand, then I can feed the nozzle in as shallow as I wish, then it pumps just fine, but it's a pain.

We don't have those here in Arizona. If you are overflowing while filling, it sounds to me as if the vent hose is either clogged, too small for the amount of fuel you are dumping, or the vent isn't mounted high enough on the filler neck vs how far you are shoving the nozzle in.
