Hello im currently rebuilding a 2006 350z. I recently went to pump gas into the car and it would take .1 gallons before shutting off. Ive tried using a different pump but the same thing happened and ive also tried pulling the nozzle out a little and pump. I cant even squeeze the handle all the way i barely have to pull the handle and it still shuts off. I do have a large evap leak code if that has anything to do with it. Please help! Thanks!

Try turning the gas nozzle upside down. Yes I'm serious. Welcome and good luck!

Try John's suggestion (above), but there's little doubt you've got some type of problem with evaporative pressure causing the pump to shut off. Check the fuel filler connection and flap to see if it's opening normally.

I've noticed on certain stations, even in different vehicles, that once the pump auto stops, you have to be diligent on squeezing slightly on the lever multiple times in order for the pump to reset it's immediate click routine.

I'm not sure how many miles you have on your 06, but you may be within the warranty time period if the EVAP tube is blocked. I remember this notice coming out a few years back: https://nissanassist.com/campaigns/n...y-enhancement/

ive got 125k miles on my z and i will try to call the dealer and see what they say about the blocked evap tube. i tried to get gas in it today at a different station and i tried in different directions. i havent checked to see the fuel line from the filler neck to the tank is kinked or what but ill have to check in a bit when the car is cooled down.

I am guessing, but you might be having problems with car’s EVAP system, which prevents gasoline vapors escaping from the fuel tank and going into the environment. The two main components.
1) Carbon Canister
2) Vapor Canister Vent Solenoid
If either of these goes bad, you won’t be able to fill the fuel tank.
