Overfilling most commonly will cause raw fuel stored in evap canister. Sounds like the charcoal canister flooded due to over filling. When the purge valve opens , raw fuel is pulled in. This continues until the canister is dried out. In some cases the canister has to be replaced. suggest test- compare purge opening to 02 signal. Saturated canister will peg o2 sensor when purge is triggered. Also as mentioned by another commenter, change the oil as part of the repair. 1- because the PCV will pickup fuel fumes from diluted oil, 2nd to restore the lube protection in the engine.
50+ years of driving and never hard a problem over filling the tank until last year driving my daughter's 2003 Camry from GA to CA. Stopped to get gas in NM got back on the highway and had an engine check light. After a little panic I stopped at an auto part store. They put a scanner on it said it was a gas vapor problem. They cleared it and it's been fine ever since. I learned my lesson to stop filling at the first click.
besides the purge valve being gargled with fuel the fuel sometimes overfilling the tank can bypass and go to the charcoal canister when you overfill the tank . Not good also in my automotive career
I just told a co-worker to not over fill his gas tank. He said that's stupid and not a thing. I'll be sending him this vid. Great video fellas, that's for the knowledge and entertainment.
Thank you so much for your clarity. There are many similar channels, and I like many of them, however you are more straightforward. I appreciate your candor which helps me to be more fact based. THANK YOU.
I live in New Jersey and would almost be 100% willing to take my cars to him in Georgia for services. This is what everyone wants in his or her mechanic. Bravo 👏
Hey Sherwood you have some great video's. I love your philosophy when taking care of customers, fair, honest and up front. I teach college and use a bit of your video's for teaching. The problem is my kids say you are my doppelganger, long gray hair in a bun. I think my hair might be longer when down. Keep up the great work, I love the product reviews. It is always nice to see someone who cares about customers in this business.
Mode 6 and freeze frame data are important for this kind of issue. Mode 6 might show lean/Rich condition, and maybe initial misfires prior to no-start. Code/freeze-frame (if code set) would show FLI (fuel level in) as being high/too high. Clear flood can be performed using OE service tool, along with data monitoring prior to any parts removal. Even fuel pressure can be monitored on most newer engines. Spark plug removal really showed the results of root cause, but confirmed need for new plugs.
I had a Lucerne last week with washed down cylinders. Always check the oil! Mine had probably half a gallon of gas in it and the oil was actually splashing into the catcher. And something else I thought of while watching this... I'm assuming that the canister got soaked with gas. Love the videos, especially when you use the ATS equipment!
"and also why it’s important to get good information from your client when they drop off." I fix a lot of vehicles much quicker when I grill the client. Sometimes tho clients don't remember things, and sometimes they are scared that if they divulge info it will cost them money but most will answer all questions. Things like any repairs done prior, or what happened just prior to the no start (in this case, did they fill it up with gas just prior to the no start). Other things like, has the check engine light been coming on might've helped. Dead battery kinda washes this, but I wonder if it might've had any PDTC's pointing to a stuck open purge valve (super common on Fords)? I enjoy watching your videos, very much. Jim Eve's Automotive
Another excellent video. Sherwood always shows the mistakes & mishaps in his videos. That's experience from this guy for sure. Great teacher & camera work. On a side note, when the pump clicks, your done. Thanks for the advice.
If I may add something that may be relevant to your viewers, or people trying to create/enhance their analysis/diagnostic procedures……….. A first step that should be considered is information gathered from a full vehicle scan even if vehicle runs or not. Don’t try to start vehicle, then look at data PIDS……IAT (intake air temp), ECT (engine coolant temp), ethanol content percent, FRP (fuel rail pressure sensor), learned values, etc. Dead battery can clear/reset some values but a skewed IAT or ECT should still be apparent. Graphing data from cold start to operating temperature can give pertinent data/some drop outs. Just food for thought (my opinion). Oh, not all vehicles have FRPS and are flex fuel. Have run into fuel puddling in intake manifolds mostly due to not properly performing FI services 😂 Thanks for all the info and videos, nice work 🤘
Great Video. I have had vehicles fitted with LPG systems where owners have filled the petrol tank and LPG then driven away on LPG then because the petrol tank is full it will dual fuel the engine via the emission cannister causing rough running
Manufacture should include note near gas inlet to not overfill tank. I see ppl doing it all the time, especially women. They just have no idea how vent system works. They don't know they're filling tank all wrong. I'm tempted to say something but ppl get in their feelings easily enough, so I shake my head and remain mute. In hindsight the indicators were there. The pegged fuel gauge. The fouled plugs. Great video. Thx
I was a Chevy dealer and I had a canister full of fuel and it ran rich until I changed it and the purge valve and blew out the lines and it ran fine after I did that. I told the customer not to top off the tank anymore
im a younger mechanic watched you from Haiti 🇭🇹 but im subscribed on your channel because you did it fired as a real pro and a gd teacher too.got it unh.😊
Works on a lot of the Chevys and some imports mainly the ones with the push button but there is some push button that doesn’t do it and I usually do that when I do oil change I put it in the flood mode so I’m not starting that motor dry
I see this problem at least once a year. Customer topps of the fuel tank then rounds to the nearest gallon/dollar. An overfilled tank will spill fuel into the vapor lines and worst case the charcoal canister gets saturated. I had a charcoal canister that was swelled with fuel, it was two pounds heavier then a new charcoal canister.
I had the same exact symptoms as you and I was doing the same exact checks as you. I was very confused also and I believe it sounded like you were not so sure of your repair. What I ended up doing, was resetting the keep alive memory (KAM). And my problem was solved. I’m not sure if maybe you disconnected the battery sometime during your diagnosis and that solves your problem. But I don’t think it was fuel buildup inside the intake as you suspected, but thank you for running through most of the process and leaving me with less to think of I hope this helps other people. One thing I noticed on my scanner is that the long term fuel trim was at about +29%, and the short term and fuel trim was at zero, it Was Almost as if the computer thought that adding +29% was 0%. After resetting to keep alive memory, the long term back to 0% and the short term was correcting 2-3% as normal. If you read this I’d love to hear your feedback.
I'm Ukrainian but I'm living in France for the long time, and have to repair my car by myself because here no qualified mechanics as U guys. So thank you for your help, I wish to find someone like you here.
Very informational videos. You explain very well. Thanks for sharing the knowledge and letting us learn more about the mind boggling diagnostic part of this field. It’s complicated at certain times but we always need to stick to the basics. I failed at that a few times. But we learn. It’s a learning field. That’s how we get better. 😁 I’m surprised the customer didn’t state “ever since I filled my tank” hmm. As technicians that is helpful. lol. Customer is always right though. 😂
Love seeing the "old-school" spark plug cleaner. I had one mounted on the wall over my workbench for years. After I moved I don't know what happened to it.
@@mph5896 How can you destroy an engine my friend,are you for real?! After you’ve sandblasted the spark plugs you’re going to blow them out with compressed air until everything is clean and then you install them into the engine.
@@nicknicu1787 My reference source is Briggs and Stratton service bulletin 367 from 5/10/1960. This showed cleaning spark plugs would destroy new engines in a short time, even when you blew out the spark plugs. It would introduce abrasive material and the engine would loose compression.
@@nicknicu1787 Briggs and Stratton did an extensive test showing new engines being destroyed due to media staying in the plug even after being cleaned out destroying the engine. Reference is Briggs and Stratton service bulletin 367 from 5/10/1960
I bought a used ford edge with 102k miles on it with the same 3.5 engine and it did a hesitant start every time I would fill up the tank. I changes the evaporator purge valve and it fixed the problem as well.
I wonder what kind of shape the evap canister is in? Maybe full of fuel and coming apart on the inside? Especially if the customer pops the nozzle a lot when refueling. Great videos guys! Keep up the good work!
The failing purge valve on those explorers are super common. I have gotten failed evap codes on a purge valve, and reach in both banks as well. Typically around the 150k, i had 10 of those alone fail last year at my shop.
Back in the ‘80’s I’d see a lot of Buick Diesel V8’s (total garbage of an engine) with both water and or the green growth in the tank quite often, what a mess.
I've had this with a bunch of 14 f150 with 3.5 and the I found the evap canister was plugged. If you take it off and it weights doubled of a new one you can throw it away. The new canister fixed all three that were having this exact issue.
Another great video. About the spark plug cleaner before I buy one. Briggs and Stratton put out a posting years ago, not to sandblast spark plugs, because pieces of sand will get caught in the rings and scratch the cylinder. Is this a concern for you? do you wash and dry the plugs with some brake clean and compressed air before you put them back in? Love your videos.
Are there any issues with using a soft bristle wire wheel on my bench grinder to clean plugs? That always makes them look clean without causing any damage.
I wonder if it got liquid fuel into the charcoal cannister that it was then pulling in through the purge valve, in addition to having the intake plenum saturated with fuel vapors. I wouldn't be surprised to find that the cannister is damaged.
Let's design a fuel tank that can't be over filled. Maybe lower the fill tube in the tank, maybe design an air pocket above the fill tube for the recycle tube. This is solveable.
I am battling with intermittent crank-no-start on my 1998 Ford Explorer (6 cylinder, 2WD). Once it starts, it runs until I turn the ignition off. When it does not start, it will run rough a few seconds and die. Seems like it won't start until I turn off the ignition, wait a few seconds, and crank again. I'm pretty certain that I do not overfill the tank, but perhaps I will try flooring the gas pedal and cranking, just in case the return line has some fuel in it. It can't hurt to try. I have taken it to a mechanic who found no codes, even though the issue popped up briefly while the OBD tool was plugged in. I have cycled the fuel shutoff switch in the foot well to ensure it is fully turned off.
My first thought if it is cranking decent would be fuel problem, after that a no spark problem and then I would go from there. But there should be a code so plug it in to a code reader lol.
Very good chance it also needs a canister. It’s been my experience that once they become saturated with raw fuel, getting it out of the carbon is next to impossible. Good video, lm new to your channel, I’ve subscribed. I’m 30 years as a licensed tech. In Canada, now a college professor. Do you mind me using your videos in the classroom?
2016 Ford Explorer, Have the almost same issue. It starts but then always during a cold start takes a 4-5 seconds cranking before it starts. Changed the fuel pump, Injectors cleaned and serviced, battery check and all good. Do you think it’s the spark plug issue?
Those purge valves on those are REALLY bad. I actually have 1 on hand at all times for those Explorers/Tauruses. See the misfire at startup as well with the sticking open ones.
You too. Don't forget mustangs and F150s. If a Ford comes in, not running right, I always blow thru the purge valve. Keep up the good work, and let's make some money
Could you guys provide links to some of the tools that you are using? I like some of the tools you guys use but i don't know the name and where to get them.
You can use a cigarette lighter with a flame I have an old golf cart and it loves to flood so I let it flood pull the two plugs out and burn them and put them back and it will start the rest of the day

Sure wish a shop like you was near me!
honestly did not know this about filling a tank....however, i don't overfill cuz I'm in a hurry, once it shuts off... I'm done.
I think that it would’ve been a good idea to look at the upstream O2 signal after the sparkplugs were replaced.
I think it's a good rule to always look at the O2 sensors when checking fuel trims and vice versa because they are so closely related.
Make sure you check the oil for excess gas aswell
Thank you

How did I know you were going to say overfilling the gas tank. 👍
I wonder if it got liquid fuel into the charcoal cannister that it was then pulling in through the purge valve, in addition to having the intake plenum saturated with fuel vapors. I wouldn't be surprised to find that the cannister is damaged.
That was my thought as well, I imagine it would take a while to clear an evap canister that was full of fuel from overfilling.
Let's design a fuel tank that can't be over filled. Maybe lower the fill tube in the tank, maybe design an air pocket above the fill tube for the recycle tube. This is solveable.
I am battling with intermittent crank-no-start on my 1998 Ford Explorer (6 cylinder, 2WD). Once it starts, it runs until I turn the ignition off.

That's what you get for trying to get an extra 1/3 pint of gas after filling up completely hope its a decent bill
Yes, absolutely over filling a fuel tank will cause many issues including ruining an EVAP canister....
Couldn’t have had fuel in the canister too and it took a while to run the fuel out of the canister
Run into fuel rich conditions when overfilled canister saturated with fuel
