[QUOTE="Doug Kaye, post: 1045637, member: 73761"] given the check engine light is coming on, it's probably a clogged evaporative canister. Commonly this is caused by topping up (also know as overfilling) the tank, but it can also 'just happen', or only at specific pumps that have light triggers for shutoff. Next time check the code on the check engine before you reset, that should clarify things. While filling up, the gas vapors are meant to overflow into the EGR system via this canister. If it's clogged the vapors build up and trick the pump into thinking the tank is full. I'm not sure where it is on the Sport Trac, can replace it on a Honda Fit where I learned about this phenomenon ;-) [/QUOTE]
