Pumping Gas

[thriftydiva]

In the past month or so , each time we pump gas in my Nissan, in pumping gas the pump keeps shutting off.........we struggle to get gas each time............is there some kind of sensor believing my tank is full but it's not? Thanks for your help!

welcome to nico, one case may be that the gas pump may not be correctly locked into your gas tank. This happened to my old car and it would automatically shut off so I had to fiddle around to lock it in.

Welcome first of all.

I havent had any problems with my A/C, but I had that same problem in my old 93' 325i. I used to have to hold the handle on the pump down like not even halfway or it would shut off on me. it would happen no matter where i went or how i placed the handle. I dont think its normal. Id take it back to the dealer and complain about it.

This has happened to me once also. I don't know what was causing it... but hasn't happened since. *Knock on wood*

Yea, it's probably the angle of the nozzle going into the car. Try moving it around or whatnot, see if it makes a difference.
