Don’t know if this is right area to post but wondering if anyone else finds it hard to pump gas as weather gets colder I've owned truck since April 2018 and it’s been the same each year (Ontario Canada) as weather gets colder I have to move nozzle around as it gets pressure build up and shuts gas pump off or very slowly squeeze pump trigger and take forever to fill.

There are multiple issues with that filler tube.One problem is shutting off prematurely and the other is not being able to remove the fuel nozzle

I have found that turning the fuel pump handle so that it rests on the truck's fuel door while pumping usually helps. I also have to do this on my wifes 18' Grand Cherokee.... Crazy.

Did it ever occur to you that colder weather affects the pump's ability to move liquids?

He's discussing how the pumps constantly shut off while filling...not the speed with which the gas is flowing into the tank.
