This may sound really strange.....but the past 3 times I have put gas in the car (or tried to), it will put 2-3 gallons in it then the pump keeps shutting off. I've tried two different gas stations. Even hand pumping, it keeps shutting off. It gets very annoying as I like to fill the car up, not run on a half of tank all the time. Is it just coincidence that this has happened at different gas stations, or could there be something with my tank that tells the pump to shut off sooner then it should?

I have a 2003 Camry. Any advice or help would be appreciated.

Maybe you're sticking the nozzle in too far.

Typically, one has to point the nozzle in the correct direction so
you're not shooting the stream of gas into the side of the filler tube.
If the gas shuts off prematurely, I'll usually reposition the nozzle. Is
there some reason where you have changed your grip or standing position
when you fill up? Is this a new car to you or did this start happening
to you recently?

I have had this car nearly 5 years and have never had a problem with the
pumps shutting off constantly as I'm trying to fill up. This just started
about a week ago. I haven't changed my standing position so I know that
isn't it. It is very odd.
