Ford Edge Gas Tank Fill Problem

And they don't just magically clog up. It's usually from mud underneath the vehicle. Just clean underneath and blow out the vent hose every so often as 99accent suggests.

#16 of 17 2012 Ford Edge Gas Fill & Distance to Empty Issue by ewujun

Jan 14, 2013 (8:27 am)

Have had my Ford Edge SE 4WD for 8 months. About 4 months ago, I started having the same legendary problem that many people have experienced - the nozzle will just keep clicking off while i fill the tank. I tried everything, including pulling the nozzle back a little, holding it from different angles, and etc. It just keep clicking off every few gallons. I don't want to top it off, so I normally will just put in about 14 gallons when empty knowing that it is a 18 gallon tank. Even with 14, the meter will show full after filling. My distance to empty used to be around 350 and now it is down to 260. It is pretty frustrating not knowing when it is truly full or not. I sent the car in to the deader once. They did a computer test and didn't find anything. I do plan to talk to the dealer again, but want to know if anybody has some insights, or is it just one of those pains that i have to live with...

I have a 2011 Ford Edge Limited. I am having problems refilling the gas tank. I have only had the car about a month and the refill amount is very inconsistent. When I was 25 miles from empty I was only able to get 15 gallons in and that was pushing it. Next I was able to get 16.1 but gas came out the bottom like it was overfull. The next time the pump shut off at 17.1 and no gas came out the bottom. Today as soon as I started to fill gas was dripping like a leaky faucet from a small tube under the car even with only a couple gallons being in. The pump shut off at 14.8 gallons and I was about 10 miles from empty according to the car fuel meter. The car estimates 377 miles until empty no matter how much fuel it takes before the pump shuts off but realistically I'm getting 290 miles per "full" tank. I took it to the dealer and they ran an EVAP test which came back fine, and they said they won't do anything until it fails the test. Any thoughts??? I know the tank isn't full when it's coming out the bottom.
