Its not a big issue, except for the amount of time i need to spend pumping gas to fill the tank.
But I am wondering why it does it, and if anyone else has the problem?

So when I am pumping gas (any gas station) I can only pull the trigger about half way, if i go any further you feel the trigger just fall (as if it were full) and wont pump any more. I dont get why it does it, ive pumped gas for several other cars, and i can just squeeze the trigger and its fine. But mine I need to wait like 5 mins filling up! ugh

Wasnt sure if that meant i had like a leak in the filler neck or something? My tank doesnt leak that i see anyhow, nothing obvious maybe a little seeping?

anyway thanks for any info, and does anyone have this problem?

thats happened to me b4.. to me this is what happened lol ur pushing the gas pump to hard or tight against the whole if that makes sense.. basically when u put the nozzel in ur tank dont shove the nozzle redic tight against it. to me it seemed like the pumping process needed to breathe like if u have a lil 5 gallon tank of gas it has that lil breather cap at the end, thats wats happening to you, well i kno when i stopped shoving it in and held it just ever so slightly on and angle it works fine .. idk worked for me
