Dunno if the pic will work:
Some are thinking the fill tube takes a convoluted path to the tank and combined with a narrower diameter than fill tubes in most other cars, it creates more turbulence that causes shut off. Some people say they've had luck holding the fuel nozzle at certain angles while filling.
One guy that's very vocal on the Rav4World.com forums says that Toyota techs and engineers have disassembled much of his fuel system, checked the evap system for blockages, charcoal canister, etc for issues and can't find anything wrong, but acknowledge that it's not working correctly.
Owners in Europe don't seem to be having a problem.
