After many attempts, new gas tank on the way.
After a few attempts at having my gas tank the dealer finally said I have a broken pressure valve and will need a new gas tank.
At first they would give me a how to fill the tank spew, they finally took it out and did a pressure test, only to find that the valve that moves under pressure did not move. Now a new tank is on the way which might take 3 to 4 days. A sigh of relief. Dealer was Browns Arlington Nissan which will do the job.

What were your symotoms??
I've had my Roadster for 2 weeks and have had difficulty filling the tank. Initially, the pump keeps shutting off then it starts pumping OK. May shut again before it's filled. I've never had this situation with any other car. Thoughts? Suggestions?

Take it to your dealer and have them pressure test it to see if the valve moves when they build pressure. If it is under warranty, they have to check it out. Just be sure to have 1/4 tank or less when you bring it in so they are able to remove it.
