From day one, I've been fighting this problem to no avail. This is particularly annoying while trying to refuel during a long trip and were only able to get 2/3 tank of fuel in. I tried tilting the nozzle, jamming it in, holding it while fueling and even tried this item : https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/PK9X7NOZZLE.html.
Depending on the pump, there are good ones that are not too sensitive, I rarely could get a tankful (997.2, 16 gal capacity). The Costco pumps are the worst and now I don't go there anymore. Any of you guys/gals have a solution to this issue ?

Old issue. Try turning the nozzle upside down.

I experienced the same issue on my 2007 C2S, especially when filling up at Costco pumps. However, after installing the adapter you referenced I'm now able to fill up to the top or very close to it, even at Costco, without tripping the pump prematurely.

yep common
i hold nozzle to 3 or 9 oclock solves the problem

Upside down pump, and I always pull up the retractable skirt on the vapor recovery nozzle (much more airflow than the little gaps the porsche adapter allows).
Also, for some reason at one Chevron station near me, it works better if the nozzle is turned 90 degrees clockwise so the handle is pointing rearwards.

Good luck

Porsche dealers have a plastic ring to position around the nozzle and that helps somewhat.

This is not only a Porsche issue. Especially in CA pumping gas is a disaster. I saw someone filling up a MB and he had trouble removing the nozzle due to a very strong vacuum. The enviro paranoid is stressing people's lives; but who cares, since "Mother Nature" or what they think of their religion, rules.

Put the plastic ring on 3 years ago. Worked great ... for about a month. Not since 8(

I've pulled it off and reinstalled it. No luck.

Now I simply hold the nozzle upside down after the initial shut off.

Had the same issue and I installed the fuel adapter ring and it works great for me.

Same with me, works great. Although I got mine for $8.75...you got ripped off!

I have this issue on my 997.1 after not having it on my Audi Avant for 3 years. It is annoying but I can guess how much gas I have in relation to how much is pumped and then decide if I want to pump more or not. It does take a bit of mental math and sometimes, I just let it pop off where it wants to click off. Some pumps are worse than others. I had this issue on 2 other cars as well though. All in California. I had an 85 Civic in the 90s that if you didn't pay attention, it would do the opposite and just start spraying gas everywhere, so I guess I would rather the pump clicking off rather than overflowing.

Was that nozzle adapter not a factory installed part? I'm going to check to see if mine has one. I've filled up 3 times so far, the pump at the 6 o'clock position, trigger lock engaged all while watching GSTV.
