Slow to pump gas - fuel filler neck

Yes have tried every position, twisting, all the way in, midway, just the tip... same results. My only solution is to now use the hook end of a ratchet strap- I can get it to wedge in there and it's just big enough to allow a low trickle (where I can count the hundredths of a gallon) which is the fastest I can fill up. I can tell by hearing the flow when it's going in too fast, but with this I'm at least able to get back to hands free, so I can wash my windows like a normal human. It's tolerable, just takes a while.

But speaking of throwing money at this problem, I got my new hose in, 77012-35070. One end plugs in literally on top of the tank, the other end I can see as it's next to the other hose I swapped, but I am not sure how to get the fittings loose. I can feel the other end over the tank with my hand so if I knew what to pull on I might be able to get it off, but does anyone know for sure? I tried yanking on that other side a bit but could only twist the metal tube it's connected to, not get it to move, and I didn't want to break it. I also don't want to drop the tank for this... curious if anyone's pulled this hose before?

any update on this @nakman ?
 
Ha! sadly, no... I replaced all the easy to get to lines, to no avail, the next one is the big filler neck and that looks like a big project, also a big expense. So I've been using the end of the strap, still... hate to say but I've just kinda got used to it, couldn't lick this one.

My truck just started only filling 3/4 tank at various stations over the last couple weeks. Took it to a local shop that said they’ve fixed a couple GX, 4runners and siennas with this issue.

They quoted me $1,300 for replacing the following:
- evap canister ($80)
- vapor canister filter ($600+)
- fuel pressure sensor ($90)
- 3 hours labor

I, obviously, said no thanks. I did a bit more research online and found that it might be fixed from just changing the vapor canister filter ($80ish). Anyone have experience with solving this issue?

I notice this with my GX. Certain pumps would keep stopping after 5 seconds. It could also be the brand of the pump head maybe?
 
Ok. Took it to fill up today and kept pumping by holding the nozzle trigger just short of cutting off. Ended up seeing gas coming up the filler neck- not great to do I know. The weird part is I was watching the fuel gauge carefully and it never indicated full. So now Im wondering if the issue is the fuel gauge... If that’s the case maybe I just need the fuel pressure sensor? Anyone had or remedied this issue?
 
haha when it happens to me i just hold UP on the pump and leave a small air gap to allow it to flow. works everytime for me
