I have just bought my first subaru (96,UK 4door) . When i put some petrol in it , the pump kept cutting off ,so it took me ages to fill up.I tried a different petrol station incase it was a faulty pump,but that was the same .Is there a fault on my car ,or are they a bit tempromental.

You have the nozzle to far in. Try pulling it out a bit until it sits in a grove on the bottom of the nozzle. Some owners also rotate the nozzel 45%. But I always withdraw a little and give it full flow

Try "KY JELLY" Not sure if withdrawing it a bit will help.And as for rotating it 45 degrees, that is going to hurt

You're all quite clearly missing out the foreplay before inserting the nozzle!

That's right.. You've gotta open the flap nice & wide then twist & turn the cap until it comes loose then you put in your nozzle...
Without doing that first you'll get your shoes wet..
