When I fill up with gas the pump keeps shutting off?

Normally, air flows through that tube while you’re filling and the gas keeps flowing as long as you hold down on the trigger.

Perhaps the fuel is too warm, and once it touches your -40C metal tube it evaporates more fuel than necessary thus creates additional back pressure making the pump think the tank is full?
