When girlfriend pumps gas to over 3/4 full. The car has a heck of a time restarting at the gas station. After a while it starts with a rough idle and eventually idle levels back out. Tried dry gas a couple of times no help, the problem seems to be caused by the act of pumping gas into the tank. Any thoughts?

Try replacing the gas cap! Vent on it is not working right.
