Default WTH won't my car fill up with gas all the way...

I tried this twice already. I pump gas (two different stations btw), goes to about 8-9 gallons and makes that click to shut off. WTF is wrong now?

Maybe the tank is full, but the fuel sending unit is broken.

Agree, it quite often that we heard it broken.

Default its done that to me too...

try changing the angle of the nozzle. sometimes its not in far enough so the gas doesnt go down quick enough and back flows to tigger off the sensor that cuts off the pump.

i would take it out and then shove the nozzle back in all the way and every thing is dandy
