Default G35 Gas Tank Issues - are you seeing?

Hey Everyone - I just came back from taking my G35SC to the dealership - to once again complain about the grease streaks on the windows (still fighting this battle) and got to talking with the Service Manager - it appears, there is a "little" problem with a small number of calls relating to the Fuel Tanks.

There is an issue with completely filling the tank - at times, the gas tank will not fill all the way, stops around a half tank and the pump will not push any more gas into the tank - are any of you having this issue with the Z's - just wondering.

Weird, its that 8" longer wheelbase makes it harder for the gas to go all the way to the tank!

A few Z owners had the gas tank issue... It happened to me like, once. I just hope the G35 6spd owners don't have the tranny issues... God forbid.

that gas tank issue happened to my 350Z, and my G35 (4 door)...... Happened only once to both.... Dont know why it happened, but it only happened once, so i dont think its such a big deal.

Ive got a Enthusiest 6MT with 1400 miles
Ive filled it up 3 times and twice it wouldnt hold more than half a tank.
After driving down to another gas station it filled up all the way fine on both occasions.Its been at different gas stations every time too.
Its not the angle of the pump nozzle. It refuses to hold the SLIGHTEST bit of gas for me when its doing this.
Wish I knew what it was.
Another member in my Z club has had this same problem too.
Other than that and my first stone chip no problems.
