Re: 98' Taurus Fueling problem

Welcome to the forum!

I'm assuming you are asking a question rather than just making statements here.

How long have you had the car, and has it always been difficult to fuel?

Did this start when you went to a different gas station?

How far are you inserting the filler nozzle into the tank inlet?

If you just set the nozzle into the inlet, does it still shut off quickly?

You are not attempting to fuel up with the engine still running, are you?

If this is something that it's always done, you may have a stuck purge solenoid. A decent scan tool with the datastream mode should allow you to monitor the fuel tank pressure. You'd need to have the key on, but you don't want to have the engine running while fueling up.
