I have 05 coupe and had the same problem off and on for the first 1.5 years.
Dealer first replaced the fuel tanks shutter valve but it did not work, they then replaced the whole fuel tank, but it also failed to correct, so at the end they replaced the fuel sender units and this worked (all under warranty). I don't have the problem anymore.
Fuel sender units replacement work had below parts installed (parts number).
25060-AL51A SENDER UNIT x1
25060-CD00A SENDER UNIT x1
17342-CE800 RINGS x2
Tell your dealer to order these and have them replaced, it will take care of it.

If it happened only once it sure could have been a faulty pump. I've run into a couple of them before too.

anybody ever assume that maybe it is just a cheap gas station and a screwed up gas pump/nozzle?
