Try rotating the pump’s nozzle so that it is more horizontal to the ground. Try it one way, if that does not work rotate it 180 degrees to the opposite direction.

What happens when you refill your gas tank?
Q: When refilling gas tank, gas overflows before tank is full. Often times, as I’m pumping gas, the pump will shut off because the end of the nozzle touches gasoline. I then see gas flowing out of the tank, so I stop. I then get back into my car only to find my gas gauge reads half a tank.
