gasoline overspill?

[Mostlynotgay]

I've developed an issue recently where, if I let the gas pump (gas station pump) fill until auto-shutoff, the fill port will spill out gasoline, like it's being overfilled. But if I manually fill it to full (VERY slowly), it doesn't do it.

anybody else having a similar issue? If so, how did you solve it?

Only once while topping off. I don't top off anymore.

Are you using the same station or pump?

Same here, did it once by mistake not knowing how easily it drains to the outside.

Different pumps. and it's a recent thing. Have had the car for a few months but just recently started happening. Or maybe it's always happened and I just noticed it.

Had this problem while topping off.

I found that if I let the pump sit there for a moment after it is done pumping gas BEFORE i remove the pump nozzle from the tank neck, it doesn't overflow like that and you can fill the tank to full capacity.

But to the OP, not it's not just you.

I've never had that happen on the Fiesta, but my 2005 Durango did that.

It's not when I top off, though. It's when the gas is done pumping. If I pay and just let the station pump until it auto-shut-offs, it will spew out a noticeable amount. It's the weirdest thing. Like there's some vacuum being created or something.

My car does this once in awhile. Very aggravating.
