Better check your other thread I did agree with you.

OK everyone, you heard it here first....RP's getting a damper!
They're have been threads about the dash and the pass not matching because of bad instrument clusters. Dealers replaced cluster, problem solved. That's what I was referencing - I was able to rule out bad instrument cluster since they matched.
I have had similar problems with other vehicles when filling up at a pump that has the vapor recovery system (black nozzle). They sometimes interfere with the vehicle's own venting. They are also a pain when filling a motorcycle tank.
When I retired from Ford, one of my fuel system engineers was on a joint Car/Truck task force to understand premature shut off, with focus on the capless system... suppositorily the result was a system that worked on any and all gas station pumps.... Looks like that was not the case..that said, my Ranger and Lincoln Nautilus have no problems at my nearest Costco. That is why I recommended a check by the dealer as opposed to just finding another station with a different nozzle.
It was either a Sheetz or Speedway. I was traveling back from Virginia Beach to Ohio. I run a flex fuel tune so I was limited in my choices for gas stations that carry E-85. I could have just picked a better station and just used 93 octane, but the E-85 is just so much more fun!
You're lucky I cant even find 93 out here, 91 is the highest.
I suspected the pump nozzle because I've found with my older VW when the seal on the pump nozzle at Costco is cracked badly enough, it behaved similarly. I looked at the nozzle last night but didn't see anything but I know that if those pumps have an issue with how they seal, they won't run correctly. Given that I was able to fill at another station will traditional style nozzles, I'm feeling pretty good about it not being a Ford issue but since I've got to take it back to get the front plate bracket, I'll still have them look at the vent tube anyway just to be sure. It's always great to have your professional insight on all these issues we find - Ford is still getting a pretty good return on investment from you!
That's what you get for trying to gas up at a top-tier gas station that sounds like it's a low tier gas station by its name, and you would not have had that problem if you had the tailgate damper pre-installed!
