Three problems related to other fuel system tank assembly have been reported for the 2002 Ford Explorer. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2002 Ford Explorer based on all problems reported for the 2002 Explorer.
It has become increasing more difficult to fuel the vehicle. The pump clicks as if the tank is full as soon as the fueling begins and take a long time to fill the tank as you have to continually push the trigger on the gas pump because it keeps shutting as if the tank is full.
The fuel system has a problem with it. When you go to put gas in it the pumps almost immediately shut off. Something in the fuel system is telling the pump that the tank is full when it is not. It can take 30 minutes to put 10 gallons in the tank.
Ever since I have owned the vehicle I have never been able to continuously pump a full tank of gas. It takes roughly 25 minutes to get a full tank.
