Default Help with fueling truck?

I have had my truck for about 3 months now. And every time i fuel up it keeps shutting the nozzle off. I have been to many gas stations and it still does it. I figured i ask you guys before i went up to the dealership and ask them. Any suggestions on it? Thanks for any help.

Have you tried turning the nozzle different directions? My 96 jeep would trip the pump sensor all the time. It depended on the gas station. Some with a stronger sensor it would take me 15 min to fill up. Once I think I held it upside down just to get fuel in the tank. Maybe the vent is plugged up so the fumes aren't escaping to the canister? Check the tubing going to the fuel tank and make sure there aren't any kinks or anything.

There is supposed to be a check valve in the tank and a lot of guys would fill up and the nozzle would kick off and have fuel splash back at them.

Mine fills fine. Sounds like it's not venting properly.
