WHEN FILLING MY GAS TANK THE GAS PUMP ACT AS IF THE TANK IS FULL WHEN IT ACTUALLY IS NOT. THIS CAUSES ME TO CONTINUE PUMPING UNTIL I REACH FULL VERSUS THIS BEING AN AUTOMATIC PROCESS.

For fuel to enter the tank, air needs to exit. This is done through a venting process. Check vent to see if there is an obstruction or damage.
