Fuel pump shuts off while pumping gas.

[steelergirl62]

Tried filling up twice. Pump shuts off every few seconds, spits gas out. Takes forever to fill. After the 2nd fill, the check engine light came on. Maverick 2023 hybrid.

Check your filler pipe for a clog in the vent line (small tube attached to the filler pipe). Common for insect intrusion.

If you are standing out of your door where it's quiet enough - can you hit the fuel release and hear a sound back by the tank area?
Relay is getting thrown to release the pressure just before the door pops - or it should.
Maybe that didn't happen once.
But seems odd a sensor didn't pickup on that, and refuse to open the door.
Or sensor is bad, or relay, or valve.
Seems posters have shared their pics when some of those happen - indeed a dashboard light/warning goes off.

Try a different pump at a different station....

Don't stick filler nozzle in quite as far. If you hold the pump handle too high up it will restrict the flow and pump will shut off. Also try setting the pump retainer setting to the lower speed.

I’ve had that happen on another car I owned years ago, a G35, it would do it when it was hot would act like that. Never found the read reason though.

Possible one of the Evap Emission valves.

I watch others filling their vehicles at a pump. Seen them click, hand pumping with gasoline pouring out the tank filler. Mistake. Could put raw gas into the vapor collection can, and that could thrown a CEL light up.

I had this happen once when I was on a trip. I got about 3 or so gallons and gave up. It was fine on the next stop, so I am pretty sure it was the pump. Try filling up at a different place.

OP,
U sure your inserting the nozzle al the way ?

This is not an uncommon problem on earlier vehicles. I had the same problem on my 22. First dealership said they fixed it, still had problems took it to a different dealer dealership a couple months later, fixed it but charged $1200. Should have been fixed under warranty (22000 miles) anyway won’t be back to the Bremerton Ford dealership again

There are a few possibilities for this happening. All of what I have seen in the comments are valid and possible causes. My guess would be a plugged emissions canister or line. The main cause for this is either intrusion from a foreign source such as i read earlier an insect stuck in the vent tube or fuel getting into the canister. The way that this happens and ive seen it come through our shop a lot is over filling the fuel tank. The prevention for this is that when you are filling up and the pump kicks out don't "top it up" by squeezing just a bit more in. I did this for a lot of years and never realized the problem I was causing.

No one here knows whether the reported concern is a vehicle issue or a pump issue until the OP cuts the problem in half a tries different pumps at different stations.

Only then will it be known on which side the issue lies...

And the OP has not returned......

With mine we tried different pumps,stations,and different people trying. One of the funny things is the service manager said there were sign that it had been over filled before to the top. Dah, every time you tried to put gas in it would not take it and over flow as the pump shut off. The problem is causing the problem
