Hard to put gas into tank....
I had this issue the first two times I filled up my truck at two different gas stations. I, like you, thought it was something to do with the truck. Tried a different gas station the third time and viola, problem gone. Been going to that gas station pretty much ever since, unless I'm out of town.

Pay the extra $.02 cents per gallon and get good gas, theirs will corbon up your engine...not to mention its prob stale.
OMG (sorry for the valley girl response but...)
I have this same exact problem on my 01 Disco II!!!! I have to stand there and hold it every so gently with the trigger-thingy in a half pulled postion. I thought it was the station but I read here that others have the same problem. I've tried repositioning the nozzle because I thought that maybe air was getting in somehow. That didn't work.

I have the same problem as well and have never noticed it in any other vehicle I have ever owned, so I always thought it is a combination of the 2. some stations may flow there fuel a little faster and the rover filler tube can only handle so much fuel so quickly?
I could only look at this problem with 1 of 2 solutions 1. get over it and plan for an extra minute while fueling up, or 2. get a different truck!
I still drive my rover!

I have also had this problem before. In my situation the purge valve needed to be replaced. Now I can pump gas wherever I want. It is a simple fix if you only replace the valve and the top half of the line. It is more expensive than I remember but if you have to get a smog test you must have this to pass. The part is a charcoal canister purge valve (http://roverparts.com/Parts/WTV100150G.cfm) if this link doesn't work check at atlantic british.
Ok, if you have made it this far, then you are curious about the topic.
I have a problem with filling up the gas tank. I get about 3 to 4 gallons into her and then it acts like the tank cannot hold anymore gas, and shuts the pump off. Yet, knowing that I still have a ways to go.
Can anyone tell me whats going on?
I have the feeling that it has something to do with the fuel canistor on the right fender well..
Welcome any and all comments.
