Probably Tank is vented back through the fill neck so it pressures up and clicks the nozzle off. Try putting the nozzle in just enough to get all the gas going down the hose with a gap around it.

This may sound odd but it works:
Rotate the nozzle 180 degrees when you stick it into the fuel fill hole (so that the "squeeze lever" is pointing away from you).

I still can't fill mine at "wide open" rate, but it eliminates about 95% of the nozzle shutting itself off. You'll still want to avoid jamming the nozzle all the way into the filler hole - air does have to makes its way past the gasoline nozzle.

I much prefer the old style fillers with the separate vent next to the fuel fill hole.
