You may be inserting the nozle to far into th tank. New gas pumps are designed to shut (click) off when gas fills up to the nozle, however if you put the nozle all the way in sometimes in some cars gas splashes back to the nozle when it hits the bend in the pipe. try pulling the nozle about 1 inch to 1 1/5 inches out as opposed to as far in as it will go

Sometimes if you'll pull the nozzle out just a little bit it helps.
Personally, I'm not sure what causes it, I've been told several different things ranging from air in the line (from the pump) to air in my tank and don't know what to believe, but I have found that not inserting the nozzle all the way (to the splash guard) is a good way to get around the problem.

The petrol nozzle works well when it is placed about half-way
inside the tank and not fully inserted, because as the fuel is
discharged into the tank, the pressure in the tank builds up to
a point when it 'triggers' the nozzle to shut out for safety
precaution, thus avoiding any spillage of fuel.
Thus, to fill up to the top, you have to position the nozzle at the
tip of the tank and carefully discharge the fuel slowly so that it
doesn't spill out.

Pumps at present are significantly better stress than they were quite a few years in the past. they are designed to immediately close off if it senses gas backing up. in spite of the indisputable fact that, often times there's a pretend close-off because the pump is pumping harder than the gas can bypass easily into the tank, causing "splashback". truly of sticking the nozzle each and each of how into the tank, placed it very few inches in. (Iknow - it truly is taking off to sound a touch pornographic right here, yet we are extremely speaking pumps and gas now!) do no longer go away the pump unattended and do not squeeze the take care of each and each of how down.

Could be a clogged vent tube. When you force fuel into the tank air is pushed out. If the vent is clogged then the air cant escape then builds pressure in the tank causing the pump to click off.

This has happened to me when the nozzle is not tight against the opening when pumping the gas. I believe it is a safety feature, so you are less likely to be exposed to the vapors of the gasoline, which are harmful.

position of the vehicle try moving the handle from side to side till it takes the fuel. alot of times they will get a air pocket in the tank and will cause this.

I agree with diesmart. I had that same problem with my van. Pull the nozzle out a little bit and it should work better.
