My 2007 Edge will not fill the last two or three gallons without going in at small spurts at a time. Dealer referred to Ford Motor Co. as normal for this vehicle. My daughter in law has same vehicle and does not have the same problem. Does anyone else have the same problem.

Some pumps just go to fast and air pressure builds up.
 
Try pumping at less than full blast.

Yes. Drives my wife nuts when I put the last couple of gallons in ounce by ounce. I'll either stop pumping when it clioks off, or spend the extra few minutes adding those last gallons.

#5 of 17 fueling issues ford by redcupid

Does this only happen when the tank is almost full or at empty, I have been through horrible nightmare with another ford product. , Has this been happening since you bought the car, My problem began when I tried to fill it up and then finally got to 1/8 and at empty also the pump would just shut off. I couldnt even get any gas in at empty or 1/8 either. Please let me know befor I make another mistake...

I had the same problem with my 2006 Mustang. It has something to do with the "saddle" tank. The dealer can do something with the fill tube. If all else fails, turn the gas nozzle upside down and fill. That seems to work for some reason. Lot of information about it in the allfordmustangs.com Forums.

My Edge gas gauge does the same thing. When the pump cuts off I always round it off. Last time it showed about halfway between 3/4th and full. I drove it a few miles and looked down and it was dead on full. Weird..I also seem to get better gas mileage if I don't top it off?? Right at 22MPG

What type gasoline does this vehicle require for the AWD? I can't find it on their websit.

this could cure it if you have the patience to do all this
 
Common blockage issues are with the canister close valve and the canister filter. But you could also have a defective fuel cut valve in the tank or a blocked canister. You could also have a problem with a restricted hose or pipe either not allowing proper venting or not allowing the fuel to enter the tank properly."
