Can not fill 2002 Ford Explorer with gasoline.

You best replace the filler neck so it wont leak, and operate properly. I do not think a vacuum, vapor lock has occurred.

If you cant get gas in the tank through the filling point then there is something obstructing it between the fill hole and the tank. Remove the line and find out what is plugging it.

Check for recalls, possibly a problem in the filler neck, seen this before on other types of vehicles, and that was their repairs..

Place a block of wood on a floor jack under tank preferably empty tank.remove bolts to tank hangers lower tank enough to access screws to the filler neck once screws are out all the way around the neck pry gasket on neck base loose with small flexible putty knife.

This is caused by a defective fuel vapor recovery system in the fill pipe, you need the dealer to repair this.

the vent tube in the filler neck is either plugged or disconnected, remove the filler neck to check it, lack of ventilation causes the gas to foam in the filler neck and triggers the filling nozzle

you have a vent hose that returns to the filler neck sound like that is kinked or pinched closed

overflow pipe most likely obstructed.

Some cars have a filter in the filler neck, but I wouldn't know if yours did or not
