problem #2

Escape 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

I am having trouble adding gas to my SUV, it keep shutting the nozel off. I must very slowley add the gas or it will shut off. Today 1/29/08, I added 10 gallons of gas and it took me about 20 minutes to do so. I have taken the SUV to the dealer where I bought it to have it checked out. They replaced the fill tube and told me that it should be ok now, but that I should still add the gas at a slow rate because the new pumps at the stations are more pressure sensitive and will shut off faster. I am still having the problem and need a solution as I like the SUV and would not like to get rid of it just because it takes so long to put in gas.

The contact stated when filling vehicle with gas it spilled over. The gas tank acted as if it was full. The vehicle was taken to a dealership three times. Twice the spider vent was replaced. Also, the filler neck was replaced. The vehicle is still under warranty. Contacted Ford, and they were unable to duplicate the problem.
