gas pump keeps stopping · hard to fill up tank fully
The fuel pump nozzle repeatedly clicks off as if the tank is full, well before it should be, making it hard to fully refuel.
Try filling more slowly at a lower flow setting if the pump allows it - if that avoids the clicking, it supports an air-venting restriction as the cause.
Safe to drive with a partial tank, but get the vent system checked if it happens consistently, since you may be unable to get a full range from your tank.
