Default problem pumping gas

got an 00 mustang gt
and whenever i go to fill up, i put it in, pull to start pumping and instantly it clicks off
so i can either keep doing that, over and over again til it fills up
or i can barely pull and pump inredibly slowly
if i trick it to pump faster without clickin off, it spills out all over my car n the ground

Does anyone know what's wrong?
What i can do to fix it?
What it would cost to fix it?

i dont have that problem but at a gas station near my house the pumps are messed up. If you pull att the way it go's for like 2 seconds, if you pull half way it pumps fine. Try going to a diff gas station

maybe you have a firm grip and you just break every gas pump you visit =P

Thats happened to me a couple of times, but I just thought it was the pump.

Almost 24 hours later and theres not one halfway decent response. [:@]

Anyways, sounds like the filler neck is kinked or something and causing it to shut off. Was your car in a wreck?
