Gas Tank issues looking for a local shop (oc)

so after dinner tonight i went to pump gas at my favorite shell off of the 405 and brookhurst.. anyway i slide my card and i pump fuel only to have it stop after 8 gallons.. im thinking no way my car is full off of 8 gallons.. so i try to pump more only to have it stop again.. so i get frustrated and drive down the street to another shell where it lets me pump 6 gallons before it did the samething.. wtf is going!? this is the first time this happened and its getting me worried any local mechanics in the garden grove area anyone can recommened?

This has happened with me when i first got my car (Oct. 05') It would seriously take me like 15-20 mins to fill up because the gas would always stop! Theres a TSB on it somewhere. . . luckily for me it just went away and i've yet to have that problem again.

Next time this happens try to pull back on rubber spring looking part on the gas pump hose sometimes the gas pump thinks its full when its not. By pulling the plastic part back it releases air and the pump will keep going. This has happen to me before.
