When gasoline was relatively cheap, this was a common problem. People overfill their tanks, the line going to the charcoal filter gets filled with gasoline instead of fumes, and the tank become difficult to fill.

A spider in the line? I have heard that wive's tale before and find it inconceivable for any insect to build a nest in gasoline vapors.

My suggestion, run the car at 3/4 tank for a couple of refills until the gasoline in the charcoal filter has a chance to vaporize.
