When I pump gas into the car it clicks off every few cents. I thought it was just the filling station I was using but it happens at every filling station I go to.

You may have EVAP System issues,like a bad fuel tank
vent valve.
You pretty much need professional help,from someone
who can smoke test and use a scan tool to diagnose

I have a 2002 ford windstar sel that won't allow me to put gas in the tank. I was told it has something to do with the gas fume recovery part of the emission system ?

The pump is overly sensitive or you might try slowing down the rate of fill. Also try another spigot for the refueling.

Gasoline pump keeps clicking off every few seconds

a suggested have the filler and recovery and evap system of the tank filler tube checked out ..could be perished seals or piping
other thoughts
some gas stations fuel pump sniffers can be more sensitive to shut offs than others....the pump sensor is supposed to be tested adjustable or sensor replaced regular intervals
these days the operator wait till there enough complaints before doing anything

the new model cars seem to have more filler neck filling issues
than in the past
could be the smaller diameter of the pump nozzle

could be the temperature of the day fuming the gas in the cars filler tube

Every few cents the gas pump clicks, no fuel gauge

Could be the fuel tank breather is blocked.
Lots of fuel tanks are wide and slim these days and formed to fit the body profile so they have one or more humps that are higher than the filler pipe entry. It would be quite impossible to fill such a fuel tank if the top of the hump(s) weren't vented.

Because the fuel tank these days must be a closed container except when filling, such vent pipes would be connected to a branch of the filler pipe above the maximum fuel level to ensure the tank can be filled and to minimise blowback during filling.

2000 Lincoln Continental. Won't fill with gas without pump clicking off every 20 cents worth . No matter which pump I fill at. Happens always. No accidents ever with this car. No visible kinks in both...

this car has a closed fuel system,and the air pressure coming back out the filler tube is shutting off the pump,only answer is hold the gun and fill slowly.........do not over fill.

What brand of gas is the best for a 2003 nissan sentra. Is chevron a safe choice?

some prefer a name brand although I always fill up after 8 AM in the morning at my local station. The reason is the tanks are filled at 7AM at the station I go to giving me the satisfaction no moister from a very low underground tank will get into my gas tank when I fill up. All fuel tanks receive moister in their tanks. The tanks are electronicly read from inside the filling station. They have alarms that sound if too much moister is inside and shut the picticular tanks pump down. Some times they do not shut down for many reasons. One is a over ride switch incase that tank is the only one left with fuel in it especially on a holiday weekend. It has happened to me a few times causing my car to throw codes from the computer and also stalling out a few miles from the gas station after filling the vehicle up. That is why I choose to fill up mine after the station gets their fill up

2005 mustang, when filling with gas, the pump nozzel shuts off. I can hear the fill pipe gurgle then the pump shuts off. it will only take 15 cents worth of gas at a time. when your trying to put $ 20.00...

Gas Pump pressure could be cause, try slower pump handel setting. If that doesn't correct it, filler neck maybe issue. Check vent tube for kinks or obstruction. If that doesn't solve it, speak with dealer service department, sometimes Factory knows of issue and my have service information at dealerships or call factory and ask them if they know of problem.
