Gas Pump Stops Early
If I slowly fuel the tank, manually, it'll be okay. But If I pull the handle all the way and set it alone, it will stop within seconds.
I'm assuming the tank isn't letting out air fast enough when fueling the car. What things can I check to see if this is the case? I have tried twisting the nozzle upside down and side ways, still no go.

I replaced a fuel tank in a Honda Pilot for the same symptom. There is an over-fill valve inside the tank. I believe it was stuck causing the symptom. The vehicle was fixed after replacing the fuel tank. The valve was integral and not replacable on it's own.

Didn't cost me a dime!
Cost the customer the part, don't recall how much, and I did it in a couple of hours which included a thorough EVAP test afterwards along with a trip to the gas station. Pretty generous on my part, if you ask me.
