getting gas...
so on monday i stick the gas nozzle into my car and start pumping, 3 seconds later it clicks off... wierd... im on empty. so i restart, same thing. wtf? try this 3 more times before i get frustrated and leave with 5 gallons.
bad pump, i guess.
yesterday, different gas station, same story. so im saying to myself wtf!?!?
am i just extremely lucky or could something be wrong with my tank????

This means that you have let the gas tank get to low and there is to much pressure built up in there now.... If you were to pull buck on the little black thing that wraps around your tank it would relieve the pressure while pumping.... do this for the first 2 minutes of pumping, then it should work. 
Happens up in the mountains too.

I once rented a car that was reading empty on the gauge but when I filled it up it would click off almost immediately. I went to another pump...same story.
Turned out that the gas gauge was broken!
