My gas station experience....
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!

RE: My gas station experience....
I wouldn't worry about it. Hold the nozzle at 3 o'clock and it should fill up fine.
As for the Vette, my Bro's girlfriend has an 05 Z06 and it's constantly in the shop for one problem or another...and it's not her. She knows how to drive well and always keeps up her maintenance....so you can smile knowing they have their own problems to worry about.

hearing about that guy in the Corvette makes me angry. i will now fantasize about him speeding off in his Corvette and rear ending a police car. ahh, that's better.

I stay away from my local Mobile because the nozzles they use always trigger the shut off when it's half way. I found that the less rubber there is on the nozzle, the better. I haven't had that issue in months.

I can get about 10 gallons inmy 07 GT at full speed on the gas pump, then im there at least 5 minutes or longer trying to slowly squeeze the rest in. it doesnt matter how I hold the pump handle.
