"Problems with the Gas Tank
One potential problem with the gas tank is while filling up, the pump shuts off every 10 seconds or so. If your gas tank is not full, and this is happening, there might be a problem with the on-board vapor recovery system. While the gas tank is being filled, the gas is vented through a carbon canister to capture fuel vapors. If this system is not working properly, the pump will turn itself off. In addition, gas tanks should be inspected by a mechanic regularly to check for rust, leaks, corrosion, and damaged seams.
The gas tank of your vehicle holds the fuel that makes your car run. There are different types of fuel so it is important to know which type your vehicle takes to have the optimal performance. If you suspect problems with your gas tank, consult the professionals at YourMechanic and have them inspect your gas tank for leaks and other issues."

I mean, I'm not dumping half a gallon on the ground because the pump went to $15.01 but I'm also not above pulling the trigger a couple extra times to bump it to an even number
