Default gas tank issue

When i put gas in my car it backs up and will only take 4 dollars worth.. the guy i bought it front said i would have to stick a metal stick down to open the bottom flap and use a funnel to get the gas in which makes me look like a *** plus makes it a pain in the *** .. do you guys know how to fix this ?

Junkyard feeler neck would be a start...Also make sure the tank is vented properly before changing the neck.
