If the pressure of the pump is too great, backsplashing of gas onto the tip of the filler will cause the pump to sense that the tank is filled and stops it. Try pulling the filler out slightly or change the angle (turn it slightly sideways) to avoid this.
Happened to me a few time, mostly on interstate gas stations that are high capacity.
There is a flap which is supposed to prevent fuel spillage in the event of a rollover accident. I know of one owner who had a fillup problem because the flap had somehow frozen in the shut state. If you have this same problem consistently at different stations this may be the culprit.
