When I try to fill the gas tank on my 2003 matrix, it stops as if its full, when its not. I end up barely squeezing the gas lever, letting it trickle in and it takes about 10 minutes to get 15$ in gas. I cannot take it anymore but I cant afford to take it to the shop right now. Is there anythingI can do?

your tank vent is stuck it is part of the pollution system try starting the car and shutting iff then pumping the gas.
