    I know that most of the people in the world(except South Asia) fill their own gas. So I want to know if this is normal that whenever(more than 50%) I try to fill the gas in auto mode(leaving the pump in the tank instead holding it) , the pump gets shut down even when tank is not full.I end up filling it manually. Or I am doing it wrong. Once or twice ,I asked my co-workers to come and observe but then no glitch at that time

      Too much pressure in the gas tank and nozle thinks tank is full. Try to put it inside in that way so air can circulate (get out from tank), or maybe valve is cloged (tanks have this valve that lets air out). I can't explain it better on English, sorry.

        Sounds like the tank is filling too quickly which sends fuel back up the inlet pipe which, in turn, makes the pump think that the tank is full so cuts out.

          Here in UK it is actually illegal to do that. All pumps are adapted to be manually pumped, there is no 'Click and Lock' option. (Unless you stick something in the handle, but you are not supposed to). Mind you, we don't fill up with gas. We use a liquid, called petrol.

                                Gas (short for gasoline) is a liquid just as petrol is short for petroleum distillate. Pedant.

                                    My deepest condolences, I suppose you get there eventually, albeit slowly and noisily, and having poisoned everyone you pass on the way :)

                                      Here in UK it is actually illegal to do that. All pumps are adapted to be manually pumped, there is no 'Click and Lock' option. (Unless you stick something in the handle, but you are not supposed to). Mind you, we don't fill up with gas. We use a liquid, called petrol.

                                        That's why my car has only a tiny 20 litre tank :) I rarely even notice price changes.

                                        A while ago he asked me what he should have printed on my business cards. I said 'Wizard'. I read books which nobody else understand. Then I do something which nobody understands. After that the computer does something which nobody understands. When asked, I say things about the results which nobody understand. But everybody expects miracles from me on a regular basis. Looks to me like the classical definition of a wizard.

                                          Yep, Diesel works fine for me too, but here they also sell another liquid known as Benzin :)
