Anyone actually know what it is tho?

Yeah just the shape of the pipe the fuel tank doesn't match the particular fuel nozzle. SO the nozzle sits to close to the side of the pipe and sets off the saftey, thus the clicking.

its because the nozzles from the petrol stations in japan r bigger than the australian pumps.

I'ts all in the way you hold your mouth........but my Libbo is the same 90deg

So my subi likes its petrol gangsta stylez! shootin it in 90 degree's..

all my cars in thepast have had that problem. though our astra we have at the momment is the only one i have seen fill up normally.

It has happened to my lancer & it does it with Rex also. I turn the nozzle around a little until it stops farting around to make it work. I figured it happens cos the pump flows too fast for the filler to cope so it blows it back a little making the pump think the tank is full?

A bit like trying to fill a water bottle too fast from the tap.

I worked out that if you turn the petrol pump thingy completely upside down it works full blast!!

otherwise, it's a nightmare

Yeah happens to me all the time. Just have it hanging out a little from the pump and let the juice flow. It always stops when it's full in that position.
