Pumping gas issue

BTW, I put it in automatic mode at low speed.

you can also try wiping down the rim of your gas tank, perhaps there is some debris there combined with a particular nozzle that is preventing a seal.
If it is always happening, try pumping at different speeds if a setting is causing a problem. Certain pump speeds (both too slow or too fast-again depends on particular nozzle) will cause a rhythm in the vapor, which will activate the shut off. It is like unbalanced tires at particular speeds causing vibration.

So if your charcoal canister is full, you should have already seen your engine light on.
The Fuel pump nozzles are designed to sense an amt of fuel vapor so that you do not overfill your tank. This is why it stops when in automatic mode. It would be my advice to everyone not to continue "clicking" until you see "enough" fuel go in your vehicle. Raw fuel is extremely damaging to the components in the evaporative emission system, ie. the charcoal canister. It is designed to handle fuel vapor only.
So if the tank is continually overfilled then you are almost guaranteed to do damage at some point.
Also possible that your fuel gauge, or sending unit, is off so when you go to get gas thinking that you can fill up to say 10 gal. you actually only have room for 8.5. This would explain the pump shutting off before you think it should.
just a little food for thought...hope this helps
