Fuel fill problem
I have a newer 2017 C300 stock all the way around.
Having a hard time filling with fuel, regardless of which gas station I use.
Pump keeps shutting off soon after fill starts.
Even holding the handle does little good. I need to fill extremely slow so pump does not shut off.
Any suggestions? Remedies?

I had that problem early on (2015 C300). Dealer fixed it, but my interim solution was to rotate the pump handle close to sideways (maybe 80 degrees) as I filled. Helped most of the time.

C300
Used to happen a lot when I first got the car. I just wiggle the filler around until I feel a good snag then I start filling. It doesn’t trip after that until it’s full.
But it when the wifey fuels up, she puts 1/4 of a tank or less bec she complaints it keeps tripping. I know i know...
Il email my dealership about this issue.
