Garage
Another question, I have been having a weird issue with filling the gas. I put the nozzle in like normal and start it, and sometimes it only fills it 1/2-3/4 full and auto shuts off. What could be causing this?

I read the other thread about the gas issue but that sounded like the pump shut off immediately after starting, so it sounds different. Could this be the same issue? I was thinking it may be an issue with the type of gas nozzle (seems to happen more with the pumps that have the big rubber accordion looking things on the nozzle).

And congrat's on the great looking car.
