I cannot put more than a gallon of gas because the automatic shut-off on the nozzle activates to stop the flow.

It looks as if there is an air lock.

One person said it was the charcoal canister.

A private mechanic says Jaguar suggested a new fuel tank !! A bit extreme would'nt you say?

This happened all of a sudden. Any suggestions?
