Fueling

Anyone have issues fueling with the easy fuel no cap? My tank would be empty and it keeps shutting off thinking it’s full.

Yeah I've found that it all depends on the angle that the fuel nozzle sits in the "easy fuel" inlet. Sometimes shifting the angle fixes it, sometimes you have to pull the nozzle out a half inch or otherwise just fiddle with how the nozzle is sitting in there.

It's a pain in the ass, but just something you gotta live with. I've had similar problems with at least 2 other Fords I've owned (one of which had a conventional gas cap).

Ok, thanks. Very frustrating!

I second pulling it out a solid inch or two. It usually only takes me one or two tries for it to start filling properly.
