Fuel Tank Fill Update: 2nd Fix by FORD

My 07 GT had the problem last year but this year has been drama-free. When I hear it start to click off, I rotate the nozzle. The reason why I named the car "Janie" is because the GT has been very temperamental, just like the real person. One day the nearly empty tank refuses to take gas, the other day it will spit it up all over the car, on my shoes, and on my clothes. On other days, it will take the gas like nothing was ever wrong.

Interesting.
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!

My '05 GT w/17k miles just started having fuel fill problems last week. Just came back from shop today; tech stated he could find no obstructions and powered 'vent valve' was working properly. Another forum stated that the 'vent line filter' was the likely culprit; will price and possibly replace.

Was able to fill tank after leaving key on and holding the nozzle at the 2oclock position. Ordered a new inline vent filter ($20+) from the dealer.
