Default Please Help!!!!

Ok so i went to go get gas...and for the 10th time since this started happening, i put the nozzle in my tank, and i start to pump, and it cuts off, so i pump again, and it overfows my tank, when its on empty, all over my car!!!

Its SOOOO frustrating and i can't for the life of me figure out why its doing that.

The only way I have found to get around it was looking for a gas staion that had an extremely short nozzle, and slowly pumping. But slowly pumping doesn't help my situation at regular gas stations, it just overfill's slower...

It's been happening for about a month now.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Take the rear splash gaurd off in the left rear quarter and see if the filler neck, that goes from the panel to the tank which should be rubber is rescited in any way. Sqeeeze the hoses and see if there is anything in the hoses. Good way to play practical joke on someone.
