Two problems related to gasoline storage have been reported for the 1996 Ford Contour. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Gasoline Storage problem

Failure Date: 10/25/2004

I have only had the vehicle since February 14th this year. I can not fill my gas tank all the way full. It has been leaking gas every time I do. I have tried several times at different stores when I gas up my car to see if it was because I had been parked on an incline. It does not matter if I am on level ground it still leaves a puddle under my car. It is worse if I park on anything but level ground . Please let me know if there is anyway to fix the problem.

2 Gasoline Storage problem

Failure Date: 02/01/1996

Gas latch has never worked properly.
