Problem filling gas?
Problem filling gas?
Searched but couldn't find anything related. Mine is acting weird lately. The gas bump just stop filling after a few gallons so I always have to leave the gas station without a full tank of gas. seriously, this is pissing me off!! Does anyone have same problem??

no it's not the gas bump cause I have tried other bumps as well and it does the same thing! no, it's not empty.. still got like 50+ miles left.
Some pumps are fast and if the rate of flow exceeds the drain to tank rate of the entry tube you get a false fill back wash and it stops, trick is to fill slower. I've never had a problem in the G with any pump. Try a different station. If it continuously happens then I'd ask yourself if you have left your car unlocked and accessable to where someone could have put something down your gas tank partially blocking the entry tube.

You should only fill up the tank to halfway anyways... More gas = more weight... Hehehe... 
You should take it to the dealer to get it fixed... It might be a faulty pressure sensor or whatever they are...
My Acura TL had this problem and I took it to the dealer and they fixed it so...

I'm sorry, but unless I'm missing something, what's stopping you from pulling the handle back up and restarting the flow of gas when it stops? I'm assuming you know how much your tank can hold and generally know how empty it is (e.g. if you have a 20 gallon tank with a 1/4 tank of gas left, you're filling up and it stops after 3 gallons, you know you still have another 12 gallons to go). I only mention this, because you say you like that station.

That happens to me sometimes, I find that if I don't stick it in all the way (like pull it out by half an inch) it won't stop me until it's actually full.
Oh, and I'm pretty sure there's a "That's what she said!" joke in there somewhere.

I had this problem too, and with my Audi. Do you usually only fill up half way or $30 worth? This has nothing to do with the pump or gas station. Take it to the dealer one of the sensors might have come lose.
