fueling problem

I drive an 2008 E150 for work. I ran the fuel low to the extent of bringing on the low fuel light. Had to drive about 10 miles to the first gas station. When I started to fuel the vehicle, the pump filler nozzle keeps popping off. Now I have to constantly hold the filler nozzle at barely a trickle to fuel the vehicle. In addition, the check engine light is on. Is there something that I can do to resolve the issue, or does this problem require a visit to the mechanic. Seems like the fuel tank is not venting.

Get a code scan done to see what's going on. It probably is a venting issue or canister purge valve issue.

Might have a plugged vent not allowing pressure that is building within the tank to vent out the filler nozzle.

Probably debris in the vent line. Mine was clogged with spider webs and had the same problem you describe.
