Pumping gas and it wont let me after half way??
This is the second time at this gas station I go to pump gas and the gas pump will click off as if the tank is full. It always stops about half way full. It must be the gas station pump right? Has anyone experienced this? I had the same symptoms in my previous G35 except it would allow me to pump up to 3/4 full only at some gas stations it would do this. I tried pulling out the pump and re-enter it to re-pump and it still clicks off like it is full.

occasionally i get the same thing. I think it depends on the sensitivity of each pumps auto-shutoff thingy.
I can usually "fix" it by leaving the pump off for a few seconds (~10), and then resuming at about half-speed. yeah, that means you have to baby-sit the pump handle; but the alternative is to re-engage it every time it quits anyway.

I sometimes experience this especially during the summer at some older pumps. If I don't use the auto fill option and press the pump trigger by hand, I can generally get it to work by reducing the pump pressure.
