Default Anyone else having problems at the gas pump?

First off I have an 'X', 2Dr. Every time i've gassed up since getting the JK about 4 weeks ago, the nozzle doesn't stop when the Gas gets to the top - resulting in gas spilling over the rear fender & bumper before I can stop and pull out the nozzle. I've tried different gas stations to see whether it was just maybe the different nozzles, but everyone so far has resulted in me overfilling the gas tank and gas spilling everywhere without warning... Any clues as to why this happens to me? It's embarrassing every time I gas up and it overfills. I look like some j*ackass who can't fill up his tank properly...

The only problems I have at gas stations are:

    As much as gas costs, I'd go ballistic if it didn't all go in the tank. So far, I have not had the problem you describe thank goodness.

    I personally have only had it happen once. Might have even been my fault. I don't really know.

    Mine started doing this about 2 months ago. A guy I ride with reported the same problem.

    I guess its dealer time.

    I had this happen once and that was last month. Have filled up many times since with no issue. I thought it might be the pump.

    Have you guys EVER kept clicking it off after it's already clicked itself off? Just curious from a if the problem is lying with overfilling the tank, then say the evap canister is full of fuel as to where it was a buffer or something..
