Khoov, I'm new here as well, and I have had this same problem. I had the dealer check everything out and all is well. They suggested that I try filling at a slower detent on the pump and that has solved the problem. I also find that on most pumps I need to pull the hose as far out of the pump as possible to give a lot of slack to the nozzle as the insertion angle on the Boxster is much lower than the average car and if it does not have enough slack the pull from the hose return mechanism is enough to break the seal and the pump turns off too soon.
