You are experiencing the back pressure shut off from the fuel pump. This is designed into the pumps to prevent overspill.

All you have to do (once the handle pops the first time) is pull the nozzle back to the fuel funnel entry point where you are "just keeping" the flap open. Fill by hand slowly until the fuel is seen at the flap. Now your tank is full.
