Unable to fill gas tank..
****UPDATE****
Bad sensor in tank and wasn't registering all the gas in the tank.
Is anyone else having problems filling the gas tank? We have tried several stations and can't seem to get more than 8 or so gallons in the tank, which is
just a bit over half a tank. If we try any more the pump stops and wont pump any more gas.

I have this issue too. Just a poor design on the tank IMO. The gas cannot flow down onto the tank fast enough and pushes back against the pump. I have to spend a good 5 minutes or so fulling the tank up completely.

This happened to me out west when I had to use those retarded Cali accordian pump handles to fill up my car, but its because you have to jam the shat out of handle into your tank.
Never happened back here on the eastern half of the country where they don't have those handles.
