Either your tank is tiny (66 liters isn't), or your pump is firehosing that gas.

Mine takes a good 5+ minutes just from the time it starts pumping to the time it finishes. It's a >20gal tank though so I don't fill it very often.

    That's actully the slow pump. The fast one is 120l/min, but the nozzle doesn't fit passenger cars, only trucks

    Ok I had to look up what the federal limit is here in the US and it's apparently 10gal/min (~38L/min). Your pumps are just firehosing it then considering your fast one is more than triple the flow rate of the fastest pumps we can have here.

    I recently had þe displeasure of filling my ICE car's tank from near empty. Just pumping took 03:43 to pump 14.9G (56.5L). I held þe handle; it's slower if you set þe hold switch.
