Should Pumping Gas Be This Hard

I have been having the same problem gassing up my GTV that I had with a mid-70s Lotus Elan that I used to own. No matter how I position the nozel, the gas seems to quickly overwhelm the fill line. Either the pump automatically shuts off, or gas starts flowing out. To get it to accept gas, I need to hold the pump handle at an awkward angle and at a very low flow rate that doesn't allow me to engage either of the stops on the pump handle. Has anyone experienced this problem? Any fixes?
