GAS TANK

Funny, there are at least 2 other threads running on this problem. My girl inhaled the gas with not so much as even a burp. Maybe these filler necks cause certain nozzles to be extra sensative??
Definitely seems to be an evolving problem.

I tried pulling the nozzle back as well as trying different angles and it still kicks the pump off. Some gas pumps are worse than others but I believe this is going to be an issue for most owners. My freinds 05 does the same thing.

If you have this occur try pulling the nozzel out about an inch or two. Then try. This should correct the problem.

I just remembered another trick we can try to cut back on this hassle. I've seen guys with this problem just take an old work glove and stick it in there to hold up the nozzle cover. Just take the glove and put it into the gas opening under where normally the cover would be. This allows more air in so that the pump doesn't trip off.
Worth a try.

are you always using a specific filling station? or like me sometimes, even using the same pump at the same station? maybe it's the pumps where you're buying the gas? try a different station in addition to pulling the nozzle out like the others have suggested. maybe that will make a difference.

First fill, no problem. I was crossing my fingers, that I would not have this problem. Probably gas station specific. I have some problems with my other car, occasionally - - and I avoid those stations

Sold, not a chance, the little woman says so. Besides its a diesel and gets 17-22mpg, not bad for 7700lb and as aerodynamic as a brick. lol

I am having the same problem with my GT. I have shown it to the dealership who has been able to duplicate the problem. They have turned it over to Ford engineering to see if they can come up with a solution. I thought it was just me but obviously it is a common problem that needs to be fixed.

Hmmm interesting idea I wonder if the problem is related to having TWO tanks, one on each side of the drive shaft forward of the axle. If you were trying to pump gas faster than it could transfer to the second tank that would cause the problem people are describing.
I have heard people describe the problem happening when the tank is half full, that would fit with the explanation above.
