Fuel Tank Issue

Good Afternoon,
I went to gas up today, but the fuel pump nuzzle would not go completely into the fuel tank. When I looked the fuel tank line was block by what looked like a lid that had closed. This was three or four inches from the top of line. I tapped on it a couple of times with the nuzzle, but it did not open up.
I then drove arround for a few minutes went back to the gas station and everything worked okay.
Does anyone know what that lid is called?
My car is 2015-F56S
Thank you,
Bob

Hi,
Thank you for the reply and information. If this happens again should I replace this part?
