Every time I try to put gas into my tank it keeps clicking off. I get about 60 cents in and it clicks off.After the 1st click its lucky to get another 5 cents before clicking again. The gas seems to be only going in the pipe then slowly draining into the tank. Takes about 5 to 10 minutes to get $5 in it. Anyone have any thoughts on this problem

The vent tube has come out of the top of the tank inlet. May have to remove the tank to reinstall the plastic hose.

The filler hose could be collapsed. Also, there should be a screen in the filler neck. Something may have been put in your filler neck and got caught in the screen. I have a 2000 s10 which should be similar. When the flap where you put the nozzle in got broke off, it was blocking the filler neck because it was laying flat against the screen. Try taking a flash light and looking in. There should be an access panel underneath the spair tire or some where in the rear of the vehicle if you should have to take your filler neck off of the tank. There should be three screws that hold the other end on the side of the vehicle and can be accessed by simply opening the gas door.

Check the little 'flapper' that sits right in past the cap. make sure it is working well and not bent. Also, check the rubber hose that leads from the side of the car to the tank, make sure it is not collapsed.
Gas pumps are meant to shutdown if they receive too much back pressure from the tank. Pull out the nozzle and angle it slightly when filling. Just be careful not to spill the gas.

There's a ball valve down the filler tube that keep gas from sloshing up the tube. It's stuck. You'll have to drive it near dry and remove the filler tube to fix it.

don't put the nozzle of the pump in so far, let it get a little air, have the same problem with 03 trailblazer and this cures it.
