Boxster Fueling

Hi, a bit of advice my neighbours Boxster seems to have developed a reluctance to refuel? For some reason it takes an age to fill up with nozzle keeping cutting out. Anyone else had this issue? Is there a pressure release valve in the system to help air escape during fueling. Takes him about 10 mins to get £15 of fuel in!
thanks
 
Had this problem with all the cars I've owned including the current one.
I just turn the pump nozzle upside down and it seems to do the trick.

 
He's tried that, he thinks it's just started happening as has had the car over a year now. Looking on line appears a vent valve under wheel arch could be at fault
thanks
