I bought my 2020 ST on Saturday and the salesman had an issue filling the gas tank up to max capacity before I left the dealership. I didn’t think much of it since it only had 7.5 miles on it - I figured it would work itself out. 350 miles later, I went to fill up and was experiencing the same issue. While I read the manual and now know not to stick the fuel nozzle in fully, my tank will only fill up to about 3/4 capacity. Has anyone else experienced this?

No issues here but maybe try a different fuel station next time. My trade in was a 2016 Ford Edge AWD which had a similar issue but only at Costco. I had to partially insert the nozzle and hold it to avoid backpressure triggering the pump to shut off. Never had an issue anywhere else, so I assume it was Costco pumps were a little sensitive. So far no issues with ST in 6 months.

UPDATE: I just drove it and the fuel gauge actually went up while driving. It’s now about 1/16 from full. The mileage until empty also went up - if this mileage is correct, it means there’s about 16 gallons in the tank after this morning’s fill up. I may take it into the dealership tomorrow morning.
