1999 Jeep Wrangler 2.5. Everytime I go to fill up my gas tank, it will
fill for a second and then stop as if to say the tank is full. It
continues to do this and it takes me 20 minutes to fill up because i
have to stop and start every second. Did some sensor go bad inside the
gas tank and whatever the problem is, will I be able to fix it in my
driveway or do I have to take it in?

My girlfriend has this same problem with her 06 Ford Mustang, and I do
from time to time with my 92 F150. Solution? Don't squeeze the handle
in the whole way. Let the gas flow in at about 3/4 of the possible
speed, and it should be fine. That's what works for us, anyway.

or don't put the pump nozzle in all the way into the neck, and as
previously stated, don't push too much gas through.

One other thought, although I couldn't fnd anything on it, is a
blockage in the air inlets in the filler pipe.

I have heard of this before. There is a vent line that runs along side
of the gas filler. There are some issues with some of those, but that
being kinked would be my first guess.
