    Thanks, I'll try this. I've only filled up my car a handle of times so far, and the gas pump usually kicks off a bunch of times before I finally overdo it and have gas coming out and going down the side drain.

    Fingers crossed!

    Also, try to only squeeze the pump trigger halfway. This works for me. It is only a 14 gallon tank, so depending on how much fuel you have left, you can judge when to slow down by looking at how much fuel you dispensed.
    E.g. I usually fill it up when it gets down to 1/3 of a tank. Therefore I know I can only put in 9 gallons or so. I slow down the flow at roughly 8 gallons.
