I can't fill my Cayman up all the way at a lot of pumps since they changed over.

i've had this problem w/ my 996tt for about a year - always stops about 1/2 way through. on the plus side, i've gotten very good at estimating exactly how much gas i need for a full tank.

Just rotate the pump handle clockwise 1/4 turn. not quite as bad as completely upside down, but i still get some weird looks.

Upside down works every time.

Plus it gets you awesome looks from bystanders.
