Hates fuel? (fuel splash)
Has anyone experienced the "seems full" pump cut-off while filling up??
It seems as though it doesn't matter whether its empty or got half a tank,I've never been able to depress the handle all the way,it'll never keep pumping,I have to go real slow.(I realize its the fuel splashing back) The fuel enters as slowly as it leaves...  Am I retarded? I've asked a fellow Nb owner last week while filling up at the same time and she was experiencing the SAME annoying problem,anyone share this problem? Is there a trick,method..?

I hear callisto9 suffers the same fate.
In a snowy climate. count your blessings? :P Sorry I dunno man. I think it could be a twisted fuel tube, maybe they installed it wrong at the factory; I really don't know.

I have that problem sometimes. Depends on the station it seems. Some I can put the pump holder thing to the max and leave it. Others, I can only do the first click, and a few times I've had to hold the pump so its barely on to get it to work. Definitely seems station-dependent.
