Volkswagen Touran - fuel delivery problems

It’s getting increasingly difficult to get diesel into my Volkswagen Touran. The fuel delivery pumps continually trip even when filling from empty and I can hear a gurgling noise coming from the tank. Can you tell me what’s wrong?

The car's fuel tank breather must be blocked. so displaced air is not being expelled as you try to fill the tank.
