Well I picked up my car today and had to go and put some fuel into it. I swear it took about 5 to 10 minutes to fill 3/4 of the tank. It would not fill fast at all, i had to keep going slow and stop pumping and start again. I know there is a tank problem out there with filling, but my car was built in march and I figured they would have put the new tank in. Does this sound like the problem and have anyone else had this problem with a newer built car?

 

Mine was built in March no problem filling.

 

My first one had this issue and was one of the first built. This last one built February this year did not do this until yesterday. I was a defective vapor recovery nozzle on the pump and not the tank. Not sure if you live in a vapor recovery area but I would try a different station or pump.

 

mines in the shop today getting the new fuel tank put on cause I had the tank fill problem, go to your dealer, cause I think the bulletin for the fuel tank didn't come out till like 2nd or 3rd week in march......

 

I only had that problem the first 2 or 3 times I filled the tank. Since then I haven't had any issues with it slowing down or stopping.

 

Every once in a while.......when I don't go to the same station for gas, I run into the "Slow" filling :scratch: The station where I normally go , has never caused any problem at all.

 

Sorry I did not notice your UK location the first time around.
Look on the door frame for the build date . You might have one built before the change. Mine was built March this year and is OK. Is your car a left or right hand drive? Over here the sticker is on the left (drivers)door frame.

 

Mine is US spec, I'm in the air force overseas and it was sent to me! It's fun to have over here with the british opening there jaws and staring!! God this is a fun car!!

 

Hi Eric, Slow fuel fill is a know problem. I only had the problem at my first fill up.
It took about 15 mins. to fill up. Haven't had any problem since.
Ford does have a replacement tank if your problem persists.
There's a lot of info on this site regarding this . Check out the Technical service bullitin sticky.
Enjoy your car it really must be fun to have it in England !
