Fuel Filler Early Cutoff

Hello,

The past 3 fillups or so, I have been experiencing the fuel pump fillers cutting every few gallons out when filling my '99 C2. Any one else experienced this? Everything was fine before. I've tried different gas stations, it's not just one bad pump. I'm guessing some breather tube is blocked or something? The car is running completely normally.

Thanks,

-James.

Were they pumps with the vapor return hoses over the spouts? I have a terrible time keeping those sealed on my 99 C2. I can't let the hose hang. I've got to keep pressure on the nozzle the entire time to keep it pumping. Otherwise the vapor seal gets broken and the pump shuts off. We have them all over here in Houston, but lots of smaller towns don't require them yet.

Thanks JeTexas, I will check on that next time I fill up. I wasn't aware on any regulation change for the pumps, but I'll check it out.
