Had problems filling the gas / petrol tank?

Ive been to 3 gas stations today, so it must be my car. I can only get a couple of litres in as the pumps keep cutting out.... Anyone had/fixed this?

Im guessing its an air lock, or is there a breather that might be blocked????

Thanks

More likely it is full and your gas readout is broken...

Just a guess..

Try putting the filler neck all the way in, and run the gas in slower.

UPDATE.

Thanks for the "advice"......

I took out the breather pipe and cleaned it through, and a sticky piece of crap came out. Put it back on and all is now well.

Took about half hour for anyone thinking of doing the same, a few clips for the plastic cover then prying off the ends of the hose. Not too tricky but saved $$$ over a stealer trying it.

I have owned my Yaris since they were first available here in California back in March of 06. They just did a State wide change of ALL the fuel nozzles at all the gas stations. For the first time, I too have had nothing less than trouble trying to get gas in my tank. At the cost of $120 the Dealer says there is nothing wrong with my vehicle. However, he isn't the one trying to put fuel in my car!

Is there a diagram of this somewhere? I just skimmed over the factory
manual, but didn't see it in the Fuel section. I am not having the problem,
but it would be nice to see how that breather pipe is supposed to look.
