Problem for Ford 2005 Freestar

Fuel spills out when I fill up.

Everytime I get gas it starts to fill the tank and then after a while the gas spills out. I have to listen to it when I'm filling up tank. It acts like it does when the pump is about to shut off because tank is full. Could my fuel system have a problem? I have gone to 4 different gas stations thinking it was their pumps.

-   I have a grand am gt and when I go to put gas into it it spits it out back at me no matter how I hold the nozzle. It take 15 minutes to put 2 gallons in it . -   Guest

I've found with our different vehicles that each one is different; one will shut off continuously, one not soon enough to avoid spitting (this one I do have to listen for), the other likes to have the nozzle at 90 degrees to avoid early shutoff. Try tilting the nozzle toward the front or back of the vehicle to see if you can avoid the messy gusher.

It is the filler neck it causes splash back.

I have this problem too it is either the neck where someone has tried to syphon your gas and pushed your splash guard down in the tank or your filter down in the tank is full of dirt!!!
