Yup, i've had that issue, so far it looks like it was just that pump, simple as going to the station across the street and the problem was solved

I have had a similar problem. I have found that not putting in the handle all the way (leave it hanging a little bit more) can solve the issue. I think it's just the angle of some of the handles and the filler neck takes a little longer to get the gas into the tank and therefore shuts off the handle due to a backup.

i think there may be some kind of a valve on the fill vent, everytime mine is full and clicks the handel, the fuel is right at the top of the neck with out toping off, so it must shut off venting at some point to keep from overfilling the tank, maby that got stuck on you?
