What causes filling problem at gas pump
2001 es300....I have to allow the gas to enter the tube slowly or it shuts the pump off. However if I rotate the nozzle 90 degrees it works.

That's interesting. I usually buy gas at Costco where they have an attendant to monitor the pumps and he has become quite an expert on such problems. He gave me the same advice about inserting the nozzle at "3:00 o'clock" to prevent early shut off on a Denali and it works. He said there were other car that required the same positioning. Just recently all the pump nozzles were changed and I wonder if that has changed things. It has something to do with the auto shutoff and the fuel venting of course - and apparently the temperature.
