Default Fuel refilling

This is going to sould stupid, but has anyone been having trouble refuelling??? I can never get my car to fully refuel.

When the fuelling nozzle resets, I get fuel splashing back, this happens to me all the time and when I check to see if I am full on fuel, I get a reading at 3/4 full and when I try putting more fuel in the tank the nozzle keeps restting. This happens at all the gas stations I have gone to.

any Ideas????

Thanks

jimman's right- time to take it to the dealer unless you are OK with remembering that you are full at 3/4. :(

make sure the fuel hose between the tanks is not twisted or kinked. a friend of mine with a 99 had the same problem and he found that some gas pumps have different length nozzles and this would cause a problem. :chevy
