Default Filling xB with gas

Ever since I got my xB, I have noticed that I can't fill up my gas tank by locking down the lever on the gas nozzle. It always kicks off so I have to manually fill the tank of gas by holding down the lever or by putting the locking lever in the slowest position. It's not a major issue but it sure is annoying! Anyone else having this problem?

I thought it was bad filling the xB, but try putting 20+ gallons into a Chevy Astro van!

this is a common problem and happens with many vehicles. there's a very simple solution... don't put the nozzle all the way in the gas tank, only put it in about half way & this will solve the problem :D
