Fuel level over 100% on Ford Account Dashboard?

[AnnieWaits]

Has anyone else seen this? My previous tank, I filled until the automatic shutoff stopped filling, the Ford Account Dashboard said my tank was 104% full (VIN and mileage whited out). My most recent fillup, again, I didn't try to top off, and drove around a bit, but it's showing 102%. I may try topping it off to see whether I can hit 110%.

600 miles per tank club secret revealed! That’s odd, wouldn’t worry too much about it, I bet the back end calculation is messed up

I need to check into this!

I told everyone MONTHS ago the Hybrid Tank holds 16.5 gallons and the EcoBoost 18.5 gallons, maybe a tad more.

Topping off is not recommended. It can cause problems w/ the emissions systems and may make the CEL come on.

Mine did the same thing when I got gas a couple weeks ago. I figured it was the weather as I topped it off while it was cool outside and it was fairly warm when I noticed it.

was at 103% on last fill up myself. Guess it happens.

The EcoBoost holds 16.5 gallons and the Hybrid 16 gallons.

No. But thanks for trying.
Hybrid 16.5 minimum.
Ecoboost 18.5 minimum.

13.8 is "nominal" in a hybrid and what the computer uses for range calculations, but there is reserve up and beyond this.

16.5 is "nominal" in an EcoBoost and what the computer uses for range calculations, but again, there is reserve up and beyond this.

CONFIRMED

CONFIRMED

confirmed by what? your opinion and some bold capital text?

I asked before for proof such as:

Ford acknowledgement of actual vs usable capacity
Anyone who has dropped the tank, filled it and measured

You have offered nothing but some text and circular logic. Repeatedly and so confidently that a few accept your guesses, or at the least, don't bother arguing with you about it.

I can accept the possibility that the tanks are larger than official capacity, but your made-up numbers are not something anyone should accept just at your word.

I believe most of us realize that the fuel vapor emissions system has capacity that is meant to be vapor (hmm) and not liquid fuel, but it and the fuel filler neck can be intentionally overfilled. I also think many understand that some gas stations have been caught with pumps that are out of spec, but in general a person should expect a pump reading at a top tier reseller will be within 0.03% because that's the spec.

So when someone shows a pic of a pump that reads several gallons beyond the official capacity, I think there are several possible answers. I'm not denying that a larger physical capacity tank is one. I just take serious issue with your oddly specific, and very large, overage and the frequency at which you spout this information as if you've actually proved it. Because you haven't.

Dude:

It's posted.

Aggregate data from 20 hybrid and 10 EB.

All pumped in ~16.5 into an empty hybrid and pumped ~ 18.5 into an empty EcoBoost. This can be slightly variable due to how empty each person gets the nooks and crannies.

However, it is more precisely known looking at aggregate data from the 30 individual owners that the range calculator is based on 13.8 gallons and 16.5 gallons, and by no coincidence this is what is published in the manuals.

Link it. Where?

I've owned 2 ecoboost and never put even 16 gallons in it. Granted, I also don't let it go to 0 miles range and beyond that because I'm not an idiot.

So, still just more bluster. More assumptions. No proof.

One block away from the gas station my dashboard went to 0 miles to empty. I put in 16.7 gallons of gas without topping it. I have the EB engine.

Thank you. One more confirmation of my aggregate data.

My 2022 Ecoboost Mustang says fuel 103% in ford pass app when I fill it up.
