gas in the car. It was on half a tank. So she went almost two weeks on a tank of gas to college. missed it by one day.
She came home mad, I asked what happened she said the pump kept stopping. So she put 10 in it and came home.
We went back I told her how to tell how many gallons it would take to fill it, a 2005, that half a tank is 6.5 gallons so she should of at least had 6 gallons , she said no , it stopped at 3. So we filled it up and it took the 3.5 to fill it.
The woman asked her why she was back, she told her that pump one and two do not fill the cars up, they click off before they are full. so hopefully the woman will have someone come out and look at it.

I've used gas pumps like that. There's a "sweet spot" where you can run them but it's very slow and frustrating trying to keep it there.

It could well have been caused by the extreme heat. I think there's a vapor shutoff mechanism in them, and more heat=more vapors.
