Default Constant auto shut off during fueling

I have a 2016 Disco Sport with about 75K miles on it near Boston MA.

Putting fuel in is insane as the pump constantly shuts off. I have tried to reposition the nozzle and cannot use the handle auto-stop because it only takes a few seconds of fuel and it shuts off. I have also tried throttling the flow and differing how deep I insert the nozzle with no success. Happens at every gas station too, as I though it may be varying pump pressure.

I've searched the inter-web with no luck.

Any thoughts my fellow Disco Sporters?

Thanks in advance,
Ray

I have an idea: I was repairing the fender splash shield above my rear passenger tire the other day. When you take the wheel off, you see a little plastic tube attach to a clip pointing down near the suspension. That's the vent to the gas fill. Mine was pretty clogged up and I cleared it out with a pipe cleaner. I've only refilled once since then but to think of it, the auto shutoff didn't happen, where it would a couple times a fill up before. Give that a shot!
