Problem refueling

I got problem refueling my 2010 E-150. Pump would shot off after just a gallon or two.

We air blown vent lines thinking it might a spider web or something but it didnt help.

Any ideas ?

Just a thought, check the hose between the fill cap and tank, may be collapsed.

fuel fillers generally use either a hose-in-a-hose to allow it to vent while fueling, or a small hose next to the main one for the same purpose - i'm not such which way your 2010 would be, but either way i suspect the vent hose is clogged or disconnected. try to remove the fuel filler neck and see if you can find out what failed inside.

I was told by a Ford parts man this sometimes happens when It gets very hot outside. Something to do with an anti-rollover valve, a check valve in either the fill or vent line..I should correct itself.

I see you are from SE Wisconsin. I am in the same area. We had very hot,humid weather last week. Now that the temps have come down to normal. Does the problem still exist?
