I've had that problem every now and then... I've cleaned EVAP few times, without help.
I have easy cure for that and always get full tank: LEAVE THE POWER ON (don't start) while filling up. With power on, the evap canister (under rear of car) makes vacuum to circulate the air inside the tank. Try it. IT WORKS!

 

Never had a problem with this in my '07, but I do sometimes get funky filler-cutoffs if I do a rush job and don't make sure the filler is in the nozzle correctly.

 

Thanks for the info. Very much appreciated!

 

No problem. Just fill it up with power on and evap can stays alive.

 

If that would be the cure... wow...

I'll try next time at the gas station.

Thanks.

 

Great info!

 

why not just "hot fuel" it. that lets the cool pump run too

 

They will call the cops as they think you wanna fill up gas and run...

 

Yeah, it's illegal (at least in VA) to fuel with your engine running.

 

What about the hybrids? You could gas up and run without the engine running.

 

yes it does work, after reading your message early this morning, I thought that I would give it a try since I had to make my weekly contribution to the oil companies, and it worked perfectly, there is no need to have the car running, all you need to do is just run the key on with the engine off, and you can fill the tank.

my supervisor at work has a 2000 Taurus and has the same issues with it, he has always had to turn the nozzle at 90 degrees, I am going to tell him about this and see if it will work on his car too.

 

Man this is GREAT!!!! Cannot tell you how thankful I am for this information. I still haven't tried it yet, as I just got back from biz travel, but will try in the next few days.

 

Thanks for this aweesome info. Why didn't I think of that

 

don't be too hard on yourself there, I wouldn't have thought of it on my own either, I am glad that I read it on here this morning, and I was thrilled to be able to confirm it.

 

I also posted this on another Mustang forum this morning too, I just checked to see the replies, and there was one "know-it-all" that said that I was wrong and that would just cause the gauge to read slower, and another one mentioned the turning the nozzle 45-90 degrees and was happy about that, well good for him, as for me, I would rather spend less time filling my tank and not have the pump click off every few seconds.

the real credit does go to mvon919, without him, I wouldn't have thought about doing that, I figured worth a try, and I wanted to confirm it.

 

You will always find the 'I know better' guys, but WTH. Who cares if this 'qick fix' works.

 

Thanks guys. Pass the info around.

 

 

Excellent write up, thanks for the info.

 

so guys, has this solved your filling problems?
