1999 Mazda Miata mileage: 100,000. I'm having a problem fueling my Miata. As I am pumping gas, the pump will constantly shut off, as it normally does when nearly full, but throughout the entire filling up of the tank. Earlier problem last year resolved after "prolong" fuel additive, but then restarted a couple months back. Don't have any more prolong, but other additives aren't helping. What's up, and what can I do about it? Thanks.

From what you have described, we think you may have a vent hose that is kinked or somehow restricted or the main fill pipe is restricted. You may want to try a different gasoline station, as the problem may be as simple as the gas nozzle on the gas pump.
