Tom...

I have had the same problem with my syncro and have posted it to the list,
but no one ever responds... I figured I was the only one with the problem.
It fills about 3/4 of the way as you said and then clicks off... further
attempts to fill make it click off immediately.  But I can fill it if I go
excruciatingly slowly... so slowly you can count the pennies go by.  Takes
forever.  With an attendant I can imagine it's even a worse headache.

Anybody have any suggestions?

  Subject: 87 Synchro, Gas Filling Shuts off too early

  Garsh, my first posting!

  I have an '87 Westy Synchro and if I don't tell the attendant to top it
off, I wind up with 3/4 or less of a tank full.  I don't do it myself
because Oregon has laws against self-serve  (Suicide is legal here, but
pumping our own gas is not).

  Is this a known problem?
