Default Gas Tank Fill-up Woes...

I know its a documented problem, however I was never a victim of it until today. Fill-Fill-Stop-Fill-Stop-Fill-Fill-Stop-Fill-Stop.

Much like the ending of the previous sentence, it's annoying.

The worst part is when people are staring at you at the pump and give you a look like its your first "day on the job"...

Oh well, simply venting...

Louvers will be here today!

I have a 2006 mustang so I dont have that problem but...what I find is that when the tank is full and the filler auto shuts off dont try and top it up lol...3 out of 3 times now just for fun I try and top it up and the gas comes gushing out of the tank and all over the ground. I guess when the tank shuts off the gas the first time its full lol

i have a 2006 and have never had the problem with it stopping. The only problem I have had is it doesn't go up to fill right away.

I guess I'll try pulling out and going back in.
^nothing wrong with hitting it twice -

That p1sses me right off. I took my car to a new gas station which had a damaged rubber flap thingy. Sure enough, fuel all down the side of my quarter panel. F*********k!!!

I've done the same when I've had this problem with other cars I've owned; not with the 'Stang, though.
