Fuel fill cut off too early
On my 95' Wagon during fuel fill, lately it takes forever to fill up. At about 2/3rds it's as if an air lock keeps fuel from going past a certain point. I have to rock the car a few times to "burp" the thing, and then keep filling. Ideas?
Thanks,
D

I'm the only one?
I couldn't be alone in this issue. I've ordered a Vent valve #124 476 04 32. Cheap part, will post results.

Could be your vent or even high ambient temperature...
The automatic nozzle shut off works on back pressure from the tank...
