Fuel nozzles used by the public have back-pressure sensing valves which cut them off if the back pressure on the nozzle increases by a small amount. This is intended to sense a full tank, but fuel splashing back from a narrow fuel entry can be enough to switch the nozzle off.

Why would car stall with gas cap on?
If air valve in cap is blocked, then no air can enter the tank as fuel is used. This causes a vacuum and stops fuel from pumping. Remove cap when motor is warm tank is only half full and drive for about 5Klm. If it doesn't stall then replace your fuel cap with a new one. If it still stalls then something else is the problem.
