Gas pump shuts Off when filling C230k

[drosskennedy]

Hi, Have a 1999 c230k, when you go to fill the car you get about a 1/4gal in and it shuts off let gas settle another 1/4gal and so on. Dove car this morning about 7miles to station so car was not hot the temp here was about 40deg. This has been going on for a few months tried other stations same thing.It will take like a half hour to file car.
Thanks for looking and your help.

Happened to me before. Mine was caused by a cracked hose right next to where the filling spout is. Look under your rear passenger fender well where the fuel refill door is.

Pretty hard to get at without removing the wheel.

Usually clogged charcoal filter.

Thanks for your reply's. Is the Charcoal filter in the gas tank ?

I'm having this issue all the time. If you pull the nozzle a little out so it's not all the way in, it will fill automatically.

I am wondering the same thing. I don't know if there is a charcoal filter. Can anyone say if this is true?

it's located under the rear fender near the fuel filler cap. I can't recall exactly where. I think you remove the wheel and there's a plastic panel in the wheel-well covering it
