If you ever have a problem like that again then try using the funnel that comes with the truck. The tip on the nozzle has to be pretty much the exact size.

Lubrication before penetration folks

The local station that I normally use has 8 nozzles and 2 of them won't work in my truck, so I just avoid those 2.

Never had a problem with any other gas station.

i had this happen once, i was on a road trip and almost out of gas. i just tried another pump at the station and it worked.

Ok I went to that link and it all makes sense. and now that I think about it, it has always been a particular pump here on base (cheaper gas on base than off) that does this to me.

Thanks for that link. I thought the white funnel was to fill my trans, but I guess not

I had the same problem a few days ago and found this link.
It is a Ford customer service bulletin that explains the problem

It all comes down to the fact that stations are changing nozzles and the new ones are not large enough to release the release tabs in the fill system I.E the new nozzle's are smaller

No issue here and over 155,000 miles now, and countless fill ups. Guess I just haven't come across one of those type of fuel nozzles here in West Texas.

No issues with mine and I've got gas in 3 different states here to Alabama.

Had the issue once. The rear driver's side door was open. I put the pump down, shut the door, and it worked fine. Just figured there was some type of safety mechanism there. Never happened again, and I always shut my doors.

Makes more sense that the tabs weren't being pressed correctly, but any chance it is a safety feature?

I see an experiment coming soon!
