Happens to me all the time. Turning the nozzle upside down works well. It is gas station specific one time it was doing it at a circle K so I went down the street to a shell station and filled the rest of the tank with no problems. it never happens in the begining of the fill up always about half way through. I think logging are build dates is a great idea. I have a 2007 GT dont know the build date or where to find it.

I live in New Jersey as well, and at the AAFES Gas station (Army/Airforce base.) You have to pump your own gas, everywhere else it's full service. It is 'illegal' to pump your own gas in New Jersey, how stupid is that... and I don't let anyone pump my gas, so illegal or not... They usually don't bother me too much. I had the problem of my gas overflowing when I first purchased it, but no problems since. Just don't top it off or anything... Never had a problem with it not accepting fuel though.

hey just wanted to say there is a tsb for a replacement gas tanks on the early 05 models because of a badly designed anti siphon feature. we saw quite a few in our shop here in indy, i own an 06 and even the revised tanks do it. now if you have the concern the proper fix is to find another filling station with lower pump pressure....yeah the customers love hearing that. myself i just dont push the pump nozzle all the way in..its still shuts off when its full like its supposed to just not before like what you are going through.

I purchased my GT in September '05 and I didn't have any problems for over a year. Then all of a sudden, the last two months I've been having issues 2 out of every 3 times I pump gas. I've experimented by using the same pump that I didn't have problems with before and the next time I use it, it clicks off every couple of seconds. It worked once by turning the nozzle to 3 o'clock but the next time I did that, it didn't work.
I saw a guy with a Charger put a stack of paper towels on the bottom of the filler neck where the nozzle would rest so I tried that the last two times and I haven't had problems. Gas flows fine all the way to fill up. I didn't ask him if he had the towels in there so the fuel wouldn't drip onto the paint or if it was to hold the nozzle a little higher than normal, but it's worked the last two times so I'm going to be doing that from now on unless that method fails.
It's more embarrassing and a pain than anything else. It makes you look like a 12 year old pumping gas for the first time.

oman; my problem just getting worse; and still have not had the chance to take it to ford(dammit school;work) anyway; the car mpg just sucks...like im talking 13avg, and i know i drive hard but my driving has not changed(when i had not problem avg anywere from 17-22). ive also notice when i have a 1/4 of gas left; it says i have 30miles left...????wtf... 30 a little low for a 1/4. then i notice i start my car today when i put 10 bucks in there yesterday and it said i had 5miles left and then all the sudden the neeidle jumps up and it says i have 70miles left...........

any body else having this problem?

Hey Johnny,
I had a 2000 Impala that would give me different " miles to empty" depending on what kind of grade I was parked on.
And only in Jersey they don't trust you to pump your own gas.
I'm in Bergen.
