Pumping gas - always stops

So every gas station I go to, when I fill my tank, the pump auto stops constantly. It takes me like 15 minutes to fill up my tank. I have to barely pull the handle or it kicks off. What I have noticed is that it is the worst when the tank is empty. As it gets more full, I can increase the speed on the pump without the safety pressure switch kicking off on the pump. What the heck is going on? Has done this for at least the last year and a half. Didn't notice it as much when I first got the truck about 3 years ago. 2006 F250 5.4L

There are a bunch of posts/threads about this if you search.I went with the the “pull the particular vacuum line off(under the hood)while fueling”solution.A minor pain but it works.

I’m in the same boat on my 2015 F250 6.2. Dealer replaced the fuel filler neck and still having the issue.

Have a charcoal canister on order from Rockauto to see if I can fix what the dealer hasn’t.
