Default Car stopped taking fuel after 3/4 tank?

So I am filling up my g/f's car the other day and the gun clicks just before 3/4 tank... I try to put more and it wont let me, I go to a different pump and it takes about seven more sents and clicks... Had to leave with only 3/4 tank...

Today I go to fill up my Si and it does the same damn thing at a totally different gas station! This a known issue?

Obviously your gauge is fucked up then.

nozzles shut off when a little sensor in the tip of it gets hit with the fuel. sometimes there will be a little build up while it goes down the shaft. thats why pulling it out a little bit works. also try to turn the nozzle sideways when your pumping. i had a car that wouldnt take gas unless i held the pump sideways. Although that many times is wierd
