The gas tank needs to be able to vent or pressure builds up during fueling and that causes the gas pump to shut off. There are a couple solenoids that are part of the EVAP system you can check. The vent solenoid pulls in air near the car's frame and it can get gunked up. Look up an EVAP diagram for your CV so you know where these parts are and clean them or replace them: the EVAP cannister, vent solenoid/cannister solenoid, and vent line. Crownvic.net has several topics on this problem, here is a link to one: http://www.crownvic.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2182284

Hi I have a 05 vic & I’ve tried cleaning all the hoes & tubes multiple times and the pump is still shutting off when I get fuel. Could it be the fuel neck?
