2004 Mercury Monterey Fuel system Problems

“We bought this vehicle on sep 2011. During the first refueling gas started spill over as I refueled. This happens every time I refuel. I recently discovered that I can refuel very slow and no spill will occur. This is nice, but it takes about 20 - 25 minutes to refuel.”

“The vehicle stalled on me this morning as I was driving to work on a busy street. I attempted to crank it back up but the oil light as well as the battery light came on and the check engine light stayed on. I left the vehicle on the side of the road for 8 hrs, when I returned I was able to drive it for approx. 15 miles and it stalled again once I made it to my destination. Vehicle also backfires now and has a very strong gas smell coming from it. Started stalling after I drove through standing water puddles on the road.”
