'01 slk320 filling up gas troubles
When pumping gas the pump handle keeps clicking off like the tank is full when it is only at half a tank. Unable to figure out what the problem is, have tried different gas stations to elimate the possiblity that it was the gas station pump being faulty. Any suggestions?

I have the same vehicle. Never had that happen to me...yet. Does your area use vapor recovery boots on the nozzles? You must be getting some sort of splash back on the nozzle to kick of the flow. Hum? Did you try slowing down the flow?

That happens to me occasionally on different cars at different stations. I just pull the nozzle out a little until it flows constantly. Have you tried that? Be careful that you don't pull it out too far or the gas won't stop when the tank is full.

i disable my email for i always get a lot.[sm=angrymail.gif]
the only thing i have in mind is that the filler neck breather tube is restricted or clogged.
it's about two inch below the opening.
i'm just not sure, but in USA version...it might go to the carbon canister for they do not allow dumping fuel fumes to the atmosphere.
if that carbon canister is clooged or the valve before it.... then it will cause such problem.
can you feel the air gushing out from the filler neck? it is suppose to go out from the breather pipe. if pressure builds up inside, the fuel may spill out too... triggering the pump.
