Question:
Have problem filling up my 99' Mazda Protege's gas tank. Every gas nozzle at every station I use when getting gas will start clicking off, after just a few dollars worth, even when the tank is low. And this will continue every couple dollars thru the entire filling up. What is going on?

Is it bad for your vehicle to be plugged in and running at the sametime?
my car does the same thing as gas pumps have been replaced over the years they have modified the nozzles to avoid the problem don't put the nozzle all the way in but only half way.That should do the trick95 Camaro possible starter problem?
You have something plugging your filler tube, or one of the vents has clogged. Have your mechanic take a look.Honda Civic 1998 Leaking Into Passenger Footwell.?
You have too much air in the tank. Put the nozzle upside down and this may help. Repairing this will cost a lot of money so it's up to you too decide if you want to fix it. Good Luck!Depends on the nozzle set up. You may need to go at half for the first few gallons then open it up. It is possible you have a kink or blockage in the filler hose but not likely. Look behind the tire on the filler side and inspect the hose to the gas tank for any issues.
The return line from the fuel filler hose to the charcoal canister is blocked or kinked. This can also be a restriction in the charcoal canister. Was the car ever in a collision where body damage was repaired to the car? Have a mechanic check these items out.

dont jam the nozzle in, if you fully put it in an leave go it will sit in place (it hooks onto something) if you fill it when its sitting in place it fills better. this is what works on my Mazda i used to have that problem if the nozzle was at cirten angleswhy does my car's engine rev while the car is idling?
most likely the inner fill tube has been damaged. replace both the inner and outer fill tubes and it should be okay. this should be done at the dealership.how do i take off the antenna and winshield wiper fluid squirters?
It sounds like the filler tube going to the tank can not handle the the speeed at which the pump is pumping fuel therefore filling the tube up to fast and splashing the shut off. It could also be the angle of the gas pump filler, if it is at the wrong angle at some point it will splash just enough to trip the shut off. I would suggest slowing the flow of fuel going into the car and it should solve your problem!looking for instuctions to do a valve job on a 1994 Chevy Corsica?
You are experiencing vapor build up in your tank as the gas is filling. The reason for this action is not quite clear based on your statements alone. Things to look for are dirty fuel, sediment in the tank, poor engine performance (low fuel mileage would indicate a dirty fuel filter, which could be clogged from dirt in the fuel lines), and dents in the tank or filler neck.how do i remove my back seat from a 2001 buick century?
If you find that none of these problems exist, then you need to take the vehicle in for a qualified mechanic to inspect the tank. Here is a simple quick fix, although it will deplete the ozone (HAHA). When you place the nozzle in the filler neck, DON'T place the nozzle all the way against the fuel opening. This action will allow the vapors to escape into the air and not build up in the tank. Gas pumps are designed with a pressure cut-off switch that senses when too much pressure is building up inside the pump, which it reads as the tank being "full." Thus it cuts out and won't continue to pump. You should be able to pump in one continuous turn if you do this.
