No, I was thinking of the large diameter (~2" dia) fill line (part metal, part 
hose.) Any chance that something there has gotten crushed so that there is an 
obstruction in that line?

Or could there be a small ball caught in it's throat?

It's just so large in diameter that there's no way that it should ever impeade 
the flow of gas when you're refueling.
