Top off gas tank

[TruckMan]

My wife and i drove our Mavericks to get gas. I folliwed her out of the gas station and for a few miles I noticed a little gas spilling from under the spout area. It stopped shortly. Not topping off anymore with this no gas cap thing! TM

Manual clearly says do not top off.

Never ever top off any newer vehicle. Those days are over. When it clicks, quit filling.

Years ago had a Gen 1 S10 company truck I would cram an extra couple of gallons into with zero issues but those days are over.

Duh.

I guess it's better than coming in and going "This FORD sucks. I can't even top of the fuel tank"

At least now you know. Don't top em off. Once it clicks, that's all she gets.

I guess I'll have to start reading manuals in my old age

Never had that problem.

I have had two Toyotas.

Those we NEED to top off.
There is a design error whereas the "air" inside cannot escape. Click. Wait a minute. Add 2 more gallons. Click. Wait a minute. Add 1 more gallon. Click. Wait a minute. Add 0.5 gallon.

3.5 gallons times 45 MPG = 157 extra miles. Yes. It's worth it.

In the Maverick Hybrid, no need to do this. After first click, it's 99.8% full. At least mine is.

It's not a design error, it's an EVAP error. You topping it off isn't solving the actual problem. Replace the problem part causing the issue and you won't have to top it off. You probably just made it worse by ignoring it.

No problems. That sucker is over 500 pages long. Easy as hell to miss things. I know I have.

The whole reason for the existence of a discussion forum is to discuss. So...............
