Default Fuel sensor problem?

So i filled up at Shell today. I let it the pump go until it's full but for some reason, today it never did. i stopped with about 5.3 gallons in it, so i move to another pump and it only gives me like 2.8 gallons. When i get in the car i'm about 5 or 6 bars short of a full tank. For some reason it kept automatically. Anyone else had this kind of problem or know how to fix it? I am planning on taking it to the dealership tomorrow to have Honda technicians check it out.

Oh, it's prolly the fuel level gauge's sending unit's floater getting hung up on the filter sock in the fuel tank. Gotta pull the pump to look at it, or just keep driving with the tripmeter reset at every fillup.
