Model	EXPLORER

File date	10/03/11
Component	FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Vehicle will not accept fuel when filling up at pump. I took the car to the dealership and they said it was because of a dirty emission canister. The canister was replaced 03/18/2011 and the problem has returned 03/19/2011. I believe this to be a ford problem and not mine. I was also told that it got dirty because of the heavy snow we received this past winter. I'm curious, don't they sell these cars up north where it snows heavy every year? Hopefully this issue will be looked into soon.
