commbubba19 Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 since buying my ST i’ve had problems getting gas. the pump shuts off every few gallons causing me to have no idea when the tank is reasonably full. i’ve read this is an ongoing problem with fords and am quite annoyed that after all these years it’s still an issue. is there a known fix?

Gadgetjq Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 It sounds like your vent system is plugged and the nozzle is detecting back pressure. That can be caused by many things ranging from a kinked hose to a fuel flooded charcoal canister (caused by over filling) or just an overly sensitive nozzle. Just for grins n giggles, next time you fuel up, use a different pump than you normally do or a different gas station entirely. Try inserting the fuel nozzle only partway into the filler neck and reduce the flow by one click. If you get a complete fill then you've probably got an issue with vent lines. If the nozzle still stops then there's a problem with the filler neck/tube. Since you're under warranty have it checked out by your dealer. Cheers!

commbubba19 Posted August 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 3 different gas stations. Same issue. Found it works a bit better on the slowest fill rate But still keeps stopping. ive not tried putting the filler spout in only part way. I plan to bring it in I about 2 weeks. Just really annoying dumb issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benk016 Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Mine does this at one gas station every time. I have to hold the nozzle up so its just just hanging in the spout like you normally would. Basically it points the nozzle in the spout down more and that keeps it from shutting off. At this gas station it will kick off every few seconds even at a slow fill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
