Fuel spillage

[Az Pete]

'00 GT Vert.....When filling the tank, I set it on high and lock the nozzle. When it kicks off automatically, it ALWAYS splashes back. Tried it on lower settings and the same results. Seems like the vent system may be plugged/pinched. Any ideas as to where to start? Car runs fine and there seems to be no excess pressure build up when opening the cap.

humm my mustang doesnt do it but, my 96 F-150 does what i did was put the nozzle back toward myself alittle and i get no spillage. When I move it all the way in i do. Maybe this will help

Tried several "positions" into the tank with no better results. Odd as my '01 F150 has no problem.

My brand new minivan has been doing that since I bought it too. It's freaking annoying. I brought it in there, and they said there's nothing wrong, and they can't fix what isn't broken. Great response. Not that this helps you, but I feel your "pain."
