Seven problems related to tank assembly have been reported for the 1998 Mercury Mystique. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Recall on a fuel filler neck valve for a 98 Mercury Mystique, gas being unable to flow freely into gas tank,spits gas back out on you. August is the first time I knew there was a recall. Ford says my VIN # wasn't on recall , but the part is defective anyway. ( dangerous ) occurs everytime you try and put gas into car. They put a canister vent valve on which was not the problem. They kept the old part that was good. Problem is fuel filler neck valve.
TSB number 98-15-3, Aug 98 frequent shutoff of fuel handle when filling fuel tank, this has been reported before by other people.
I am not able to pump gas without spillage occurring. The tank acts like its full even when empty and I have to continually depress the gas pump. I am able to only pump a few gallons before my hand gets to tired to continue. I have had mechanics look at this but they can't figure out what is wrong.
Gas tank would not allow gas to enter without backing it up, this happens especially during warm weather.
Unable to put fuel into car. Fuel kicks back and overflows onto the ground. If you refuel slowly you can get about 3 dollars into car in about 15 minutes. Usually end up with more fuel on the ground then in the car. Additionally fuel ends up in the rear wheel well of the car, concerned about gas on rear wheel well in case of a rear end accident.
The fuel guage does not register the correct levels of fuel cause unknown. Please give any further details.
Gas tank filler pipe/tank experiencing constant problems when filling gas tank, shuts off as gas backs up in filler pipe/tank, consumer never knows when tank is fully filled. Mjs.
