Default Filling up problem

Ok so I just got a 2006 h3 102k miles and went to fill her up but nozzle kept cutting off. Never had this happen to any other vehicle while filling up. The tank was pretty much on vapors. Could it have been a vapor lock? She got a full tank now so maybe next full up wont be the same. Also when I remove the gas cap I heat a pressurized seal breaking. That I have heard from other cars but is it normal for the h3? Thanks!

I had this happen once when my h3 was still in Dubai. Eventually got it filled... Now I make sure I fill up when down to quarter of a tank, just in case I can't manage to fill it at least I'll have enough to get home.

ONCE, i'm convinced it was a bad gas pump.

^Happythree is probably right, I have had that probably before when I stopped at a non-local gas satation.

Well doesnt matter now anyways, the H3 is out of commsion for the time being. taking it back to the shop tmrw and they will look at it and see what the damages are. had a misfire in cylinder 4 and EVAP canister soaked in fuel. i beleive me head is bad due to bubbling in the coolant
