The problem is when I try to fill the gas tank. I insert the gas nozzle and sqeeze the handle and the gas starts to flow, but within a few seconds it shuts off. I have tried moving the nozzle depth and it does the same thing. I also tried different gas pumps. I'm not sure if there is something wrong with the gas tank on the car.

HI there,

The fuel tank venting system has a problem, this is causing the tank to get air locks and causing the fuel to back up shutting off the auto nozzle, as this may entail the removal of the tank, this is a job best suited for your mechanic to look at.
