Odd fuel tank issue...

So the last few times I have tried to fill up my tank I haven't been able to. Usually I don't let the gas light come on but every once in a while it happens. So when the tank is about empty it takes around 12-13 gallons to fill the tank. But the last few times I have tried to fill up it will only allow me to get about 10.5 gallons into the tank. And my gas guage doesn't read full. Its somewhere a little over 3/4. Could this be a venting problem with the fuel tank. This happened at two different gas stations. Anybody ever had this issue?

That happens to me on VIII every now and then. I'm also curious to know of a real solution. When I experience that problem I just pump it slow and it fills up. Works alright I guess!
