I have hundreds of thousands of miles on Fords capless fuel filler and will agree it is either the gas station or operator error.

First world problem. In NY there are no lever locking gas pumpsI saw a thread about this issue a while back, but I couldn't find it. This is more annoying than anything, but was just curious if anyone else had this issue.
When using the lever lock on the gas handle to refill, it constantly will pop and stop refilling. I've tried this at a few different gas stations with different handles and it still will not hold.
My theory is it has something to do with the Easy Fill Nozzle on the gas tank that causes it to keep popping like it's finished.
Has anyone else dealt with this issue? Like I said, it's just more so annoying. When its really cold out, I really don't like having to stand there and hold the handle. For reference, its the "Operating Lever Trigger" that I'm referencing.
This is great.First world problem. In NY there are no lever locking gas pumps
1st is free/strong economies, 2nd is/was communism and 3rd under or undevelopedThis is great.
I've heard of first world issues and third world issues, but NY? Would it be considered the second world? I've always wondered with 1st and 3rd worlds what is the 2nd world.
Sorry, just my smart @ss coming out but I thought your comment was funny.

I used to use the gas cap when running into this, not any more!Only happens to me at one particular local gas station. The kickstand for the fuel nozzle has 2 spots. It jumps out of the highest one, so I put it on the lower one. Just takes a couple more minutes to fill up. No biggie.
At stations that don’t have a kickstand, like in NY, just jam your wallet in there to prop it up.
I used to stick the gas cap in there but now that we dont have oneAt stations that don’t have a kickstand, like in NY, just jam your wallet in there to prop it up.
Well, whatever the fix, be sure to not top off your tank with these Broncos. I learned that the hard way when driving down from Vermont, after filling up and topping off the tank, the engine started sputtering and seemsEd to go into limp mode for several miles. CEL came on and I later discovered that Topping off the tank affect the emissions controls which produced engine misfires.I saw a thread about this issue a while back, but I couldn't find it.

I didn’t see it yet, and being that I live here I’ll kick it off……Jersey want to know, what is this problem you speak of?!
I didnt even know there was an Easter egg above the gas neck until we went out of town for vacation.I didn’t see it yet, and being that I live here I’ll kick it off……Jersey want to know, what is this problem you speak of?!
Sitting in your car while self fillng a vehicle is illegal in my state and probably where you are also. Only New Jersey where self filling is outlawedMine doesn’t do that, second vehicle with easy fill. You have a restriction in the fill tube. Try locking it partially depressed. Will take longer but you can sit in your car.
