Next time pour gas on the Vette and throw a match. Love the smell of fiberglass in the morning.

Well I had my tank replaced last week. I filled it up twice with NO PROBLEM. Today I'm at Chevron, ITS WORSE THEN BEFORE!!! A guy in a Corvette pulls up in front of me, fills his tank......im still standing there and I only had about 4 gallons in and its clicking on and off.The guy looks over and is smiling. He starts laughing and says "That is why you stay away from FORD" he gets back into his corvette and speeds off. im stuck there for another 10 mins. This problem is so ridiculous!

let me tell ya something, it worked for me, never got the tank replaced but i removed the gas cap made by ford and put an autozone one with the lockin kit and the problem stop immediately after i changed, now how cool is that, my other option before that was to hold the gun upside down because it would work, but then again i was doin it here, for some reason ppl cant pump their own gas in NJ so gay!

Which gas cap did you get? I'd like to get a locking one, but have no idea which one I need.

I too would like to know what model or part number that is from AutoZone. I'd like to give it a try.

RE: My gas station experience....
Dont bother buying a locking gas cap. Any percieved benefit is purely coincidental. The cap has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with fuel flowing into the tank. You may want to consider adjusting the filler neck a bit to reduce the amount of uphill climb the fuel must take on its way to the tank. Loosen the retaining bracket that holds the metal tube to the body. Pull down on the metal tube and re-tighten the bracket. This should put a bit of slack in the rubber hose, so loosen the worm clamp and slide the rubber hose further onto the metal tube. Retighten and test. If you have the revised tank, no EVAP system restrictions, no filler neck restrictions and you do this adjustment - any issues filling at that point are not able to be helped.
