What causes the fuel nozzle to shut off prematurely when refueling a Mondeo?
1 Answers
The nozzle shutting off prematurely during refueling can be caused by vapor generation, issues with the fuel gauge, or the nozzle being inserted too shallowly. It is recommended to first check if the fuel gauge of the Mondeo is damaged and to insert the nozzle as deeply as possible into the fuel tank opening to prevent fuel splashing out when the nozzle shuts off. Additionally, it's advisable not to fill the tank completely; refueling to about two-thirds of the tank capacity allows the vehicle to maintain optimal fuel conditions. Further details are as follows: 1. The fuel tank is divided into two sections: a main tank and a secondary tank. 2. Each section has its own fuel level sensor, and both sensors are connected in series. The fuel gauge displays the average of the remaining fuel in both sections. Poor contact at the main or secondary fuel level sensor contact points can lead to the aforementioned issue.
