Fueling problem

Can someone tell me why I cannot fuel my truck without first putting the gas in a container then slowly pouring it in? I figure the vent line is plugged somewhere, maybe? So I traced the vent line all the way to the back of the truck up underneath the spare tire in to some kind of plastic component that has other hoses and wires hooked to it. It appears there is a sensor in it.
Can someone tell me what this is as well?
Thanks in advance!

I had this problem with my 05. I could only get 2 gallons in before the filling pump shut off. It was a real pain because it took so long to fill the tank. The service manager said it will eventually throw a code and affect things like power and mileage - not too sure how unless it also affects the fuel feed to the engine. It was under warranty and the dealer knew right away what it was and was able to fix it. I'll see if I can find the paperwork and post later to let you know what the part was.

I'd appreciate that info because that's the problem I'm having.
