just noticed this recently, when filling up my car at the station, im not able to squeeze the pump all the way. the auto cut-off thing from the pump keeps happening and forces me to fill my tank slow.
anyone know whats the problem? dont know what to look for and where to start.

I would try pulling the filler out about an inch. If you have it jammed completely in, what you described will happen.

I had the same problem this weekend in the 930. I had to pull it almost all the way out for it to work

I had this problem on a work truck and we ended up having to replace a vent tube. Not sure if the set-up is the same for your car or not, but sounds like a similar situation.

Re: (Works243t)

im sorry but what do you mean pull out the filler? the internal part where when you unscrew the gas cap?

No he means the nozzle. We have this problem with gas tank vent tubes if they get clogged. For some reasons spiders like to make nests in there.

pinched charcoal canister line?
Do you get a whoosh when removing the cap? If so your tank is holding the vapor & not properly venting.

Re: gas pump cuts off when filling... (JSmooth)

pull on the pump cover (accordion sp? looking covering the gas pump) thats usually the problem when that happens to me
