2008 ford escape won't fill with gas, the pump clicks off after less that 1/2gallon of gas added

  • Tim Brink Feb 09, 2018

    I had the same issue with my Escape would not fill with fuel, pump clicks off. I removed the filler pipe at the tank and found no blockage, but did find the rubber vent pipe was kinked where it went through the frame to the tank. I cleaned all the mud from the frame hole which freed up the rubber vent pipe, then shot my air hose down vent pipe to clear any obstacles. Now it pumps a full tank with out shutting off.

You have a high pressure fuel pump in the tank the engine must be off when fueling and you must run the pump slow because the force of the flow causes the pump to click off also when you turn the gas cap to remove it do you here any noise a swoosh sound and is the cap very hard to turn to loosen it if so your getting vapor lock and your fuel pressure regulator is bad but it just might be the high flow pressure from the gas pump try another gas station and again run it slow if the same thing happens investigate the fuel stem this is where you put the gas in but at the tank side check the rubber hose it maybe bent was the car in a rear end collision that you know if? If so the tank could be misaligned causing the bending of the stem/hose post back with more info ok and I'll get you there I just need you to go through the process of elimination and I'm a taxi mechanic in NYC with 50 years experience in all fazes of automotive repairs collision work to ok remember that I'm not there at the vehicle so you need to be my eyes and ears ok thanks Stephen

SOURCE: HOW TO INSTALL AHITCH ON A 2008 FORD ESCAPE

I have a 2007 Ford Escape Hybrid. The best hitch is the one available at your Ford dealer parts department. You cannot install a generic hitch because this is a unitized body/frame car. The Ford hitch bolts right onto existing bolts. It took me only about 2 hours to do the job. You have to cut a small square hole in the plastic bumper for the hitch to stick out.

The little air holes above the gas tank hole don't work very well on these. I've noticed it too. Just hold the pump at a little bit of an angle when this happens which will allow more air to escape your tank.

I thought my 2008 Escape 2.3L 4cyl could run on E85, but when I got through the 1st 1/4 tank, my ck eng lite came on. Is this a result of the fuel or something else?

I don't think any of fords four cylinders are e85 compliant. The escape 3.0 liter didn't become e85 compliant until 2010 if you vehicle was e85 compliant it would have a flex fuel emblem on the side of it and it would have a sticker on the fuel door. Your check engine light is most likely because of the e85. If it's running ok. Burn of that tank and then return to regular gas. The check engine light should go out after a couple of fill ups.
