Chris,

I have the a similar problem on my GTV6.  When near empty, I can get 
about 9 gal. in (about a half tank) before the hose shuts off.  It helps 
some if I pull the vent hose on top of the tank loose during the reflill 
but not much.  The inside of the GTV6 tank has (two vertical dividers 
and one horizontal divider making six separate fuel chambers.  I assume 
this prevents sloshing and sudden weight transfer.  I theorize that for 
some reason the flow from one chamber to the next is slow resulting in 
one or two cavities (the ones closest to the filler neck) filling and 
shutting off the hose before the other chambers are full.  I don't have 
a clue how to cure it.

John
