Default Why won't fuel tank take fuel at normal rate?

During the last few weeks, fueling the car has become increasingly difficult--it keeps acting like the tank is full when it's not. Filling up, at any station, and I'm forced to dribble in the fuel until I guess it's full. Any ideas?

Default Generally, that will be the pump. Try pumping with the nozzle in half as far as you'd normally do.

You don't HAVE to be '*****' deep. ;-)

Different stations, nozzle in varying positions--all the same. Wierd.
