| SLOW FUEL FILL – REPEAT FILLING STATION PUMP SHUT-OFF |
| FORD: | 2005-2006 Escape Hybrid, Escape |
| MERCURY: | 2005-2006 Mariner |
2005-2006 Escape, Escape Hybrid and Mariner vehicles may exhibit a slow fuel fill or frequent filling station pump shut-offs, when refueling.
ACTION:
Install a revised fuel tank filler pipe. The revised pipe has an improved radius to increase the fuel flow rate.
NOTE: THIS CONDITION MAY STILL OCCUR ON SOME VEHICLES EVEN AFTER THE REVISED FUEL TANK FILLER PIPE HAS BEEN INSTALLED. SOME FILLING STATION PUMPS MAY DELIVER FUEL AT A RATE GREATER THAN THE DOT SPECIFICATION, OR MAY USE NOZZLE DESIGNS THAT ARE OVERLY SENSITIVE AND TEND TO SHUT OFF PREMATURELY. THIS IS NORMAL.
