Three problems related to gasoline fuel system have been reported for the 1998 Lincoln Town Car. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The fuel filler will not accept gasoline at a normal rate. Even at minimum speed it will shut off and/or spit fuel back. Have used different pumps, different stations, different positions happens almost 100% of the time. Also major water leakage around windshield on passenger side of car.
Unable to properly pump fuel into the vehicle. Can only put in about 1/2 gallon before the pump shuts off. Sometimes fuel blows back out the filler neck. Call to dealership was told car had developed a fuel venting problem. Appears they know this is common problem and yet no one is notified. Say they will track down the problem for 89. 00 but then I will have to pay fix the problem separately.
Been smelling fumes in vehicle. Noticed fuel leaked whenever vehicle is parked or going up slight inclines. Took to dealer & mechanic noticed the leak & the fumes.
