pull the fill hose off and see if its coming apart on the inside. then see if you can make sure the pipe coming from the tank is clear. i remember a thread on here with this problem quite a while ago. seems like a part of the tank or fill pipe was coming apart.

Is it always at the same gas station? It may sound odd, but sometimes our vehicles at work won't take gas from certain pumps. After a certain point, the auto cut off keeps shutting the pump off like its full. Go to a different station and fill it up no problem. Strange things...

may be a vent hose from the tank to the top of the fill tube by where you fill it. that hose may be plugged off for some reason. mine does not have one, not sure why it doesn't do what yours is doing. mine has a small hole in the unleaded fill restrictor to let air out.
