147JTD Cant fill a full tank. Fuel spills out.

Folks,

I start having a problem to fill a full tank up. It looks as an air back pressure causing the nozzle at the gas station click like then the tank is full. While it is full less than a half. When I continue fueling slowly, I see the gas staying in the tube and not passing down to the tank. Sometimes a back pressure causes the gas to spill out on the ground.

If I remember it right, I had the same last winter after I fill the tank to the top and leaving it no driving for a weekend. But eventually it became acceptable. But unfortunately, it has started again.

Any good advises?

the car is 147 JTD from 2004
