Why does the fuel nozzle shuts off every few seconds when trying to refuel your 2000 Chevy venture?

Just back the nozzle out an inch or so and you'll get a fill without all those annoying shut downs. The pump will still shut off when it is actually full. It's just something about the way the tank vents itself during refueling.
If you had your fuel pump replaced or if your fuel tank was lowered for any reason, ensure that the black rubber hose from tank to gas cap was not crimped or twisted.
Also look down the fill tube carefully. On my 2001 Venture, the thin metal nozzle flap came loose, fell down the fill tube and lodged in the first bend in the filler tube. It was a bit tricky to reach, but after CAREFULLY removing it, we have not had further fuel fill problems. The obstruction created by the dislodged flapper allows fuel to back up in the tube and shut off the pump (as designed).

Why Fluid Speed Increases in the Divergent Portion of a Convergent-Divergent nozzle?
Because the fluid is allowed to expand in the nozzle it increases velocity to fill in the voids created by the shape of the nozzle. The convergent point of the nozzle acts like a bottleneck trying to slow the fluid and compress it into the reduced crosssection of the nozzle. As it leaves the minimum crosssection it expands into the divergent spaces of the nozzle increasing in velocity as it expands. ++_+ No: it gains velocity through the convergence but in the diverging section, trades velocity for pressure.

The pulse is taken for how many seconds before multiplying by ten is it for 3 seconds or is it for 6 seconds or is it 10 seconds or is it none of the above?
If you are trying to find your pulse per minute you would take your pulse for 6 seconds and then multiply it by 10. You could also take your pulse for 10 seconds and multiply it by 6
What to multiply after pulse?
If you count the pulse for 15 seconds, multiply by 4. If you count for 30 seconds, multiply by 2. You're trying to get to beats per minute.

How do you reset the computer on your Chevy Venture?
Per the GM dealership here in Livingston, TX., you are suppose to turn the key to the start position as if you are trying to start it and hold for five seconds. Release the key and let it rotate back to the run position and leave in this position for ten (10) seconds. Repeat this step three times, turning the key off for a count of five between each cycle. It should then start up. Note: to prevent the running lights from draining the battery, set the emergency brake. This will disable the lights.
