    I had this issue. I resolved it by taking off the cap and waiting about 30 seconds for the pressure to release then start filling. Hasnt happend since

    I have had this happen to me a couple of times. Try putting the nozzle only in half way. I think the excess gas fumes cut's off the flow b/c it thinks your tank is full.

    I also had this problem at basically any gas station I go to. I found one pump, and only that one pump that doesn't cause it, so I use it every time I fill up. So I'm thinking that one pump has a problem, but it made new friend, that is my car. I'll have to try waiting 30 seconds when my pump is occupied.

    Hold it at a slight angle. I think it has something to do with the Anti-Cyphen (sp?) Mechanism?
