Gas burps out of filler tube upon fueling. You must always hold fuel pump handle and manually pump fuel and listen for gas to be almost full to stop. Otherwise gas will spew out down side of vehicle and persons pumping gas. This happens on almost every fill up across all gas stations in central fl.
When fueling every time. The pump auto shut off clicks and about a quart of fuel burps out of the fill all over the ground, the side of the truck and whoever happens to be standing next to the fill. Complaint made to dealer(s). No solutions. Dealer(s) blame faulty pump equipment. Cant be all of the pumps from Florida to New York.
I went to pick my son up from drivers ed and we were leaving the parking lot and the vehicle died. I waited a little and then restarted it and it started but it was rough. I then continued to drive my way back home and it was driving rough and no lights came on indicating I had a problem. I was driving down the road and it died again so I had to just let it coast to get off the street. Luckily I was able to coast into delon and son's second driveway (repair shop). I waited for them to come help and when the repair man came out he was able to start it and told me he was going to run some test on it to see what would have caused it. After 2hrs he came and said that it indicated it was the fuel pump, but that it showed it fixed itself so he wanted to test drive it before I would go home......well not even two minutes after he left his coworker came in and said that he just broke down in my vehicle. So he bumped under the tank and it started back up. So this to him indicated that it was for sure the fuel pump. I left it for them to fix it and when it was done he called me and told me that.....I was very lucky that it didn't explode because the wires were melted on the fuel pump and he himself said that he was lucky since he test drove it as well. I doubt Ford would pay for this fuel pump failure it seems to be a common problem when you look on-line. My total bill for this was $790 ouch :( considering we are in the process of adopting a child.
