Gas Station Pumping problem

[Timco]

It's the fuel vapor recovery system built into the pump. The short fill tube traps too much vapor.

So it's the gas station's pump, not my car?

yes, it's the pump.
a common problem with all cars (all I've owned at least)

- you have to hold the pump at all sorts of weird angles until it flows.

I always check how many litres of fuel I am putting in too, because sometimes the pump cuts out and you're not sure whether to click the pump again, incase it really is full and petrol sprays out all over you
