Fuel filling problem...
I've noticed since I got the car, every time I fill up at the gas station, the pumps don't stop fast enough, and fuel pours all over the paint. I don't know what it is... I've tried holding the pump open full all the way till it's full... spill. I've tried half-way... spill. I've even tried trickling it in in the last portion of the tank, and it still spills over. It happens at every gas station I go to, and only when the tank is full it spills, not half or three quarters or anything.
Is there something I can clean out or replace or something?

Re: Fuel filling problem... (CycloneBlue_1.6EL)
same problem here. Just watch how many gallons you are putting in. Then when it starts reaching the point where it usually spills (usually around 9-9.5 gallons) just stop pumping for a second. then start slowly again and just stop every second or so. Works for me.

I'm never 100% when it's at the top until it's too late. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong... I haven't had the car for that long, I'll just try and develop a trick... and avoid full service gas stations.
