Car stalled and was towed to Ford Dealer last week, fuel pump was changed and now I cannot get gas to go into tank, sprays back on me. What now?
Is there blockage or air in the tank?
Something they didn't do at the time of replacing fuel pump?

Take it back to the repair shop. There is a breather that allows air to exit the tank as fuel enters. Either they damaged or blocked that or the filler tube.

I took it back and they had twisted a tube when they replaced the fuel filter last week.
So, they replaced it, without charge. But, we had to drive an hour to the repair shop. They did apologize though.
Thanks !

When a fuel pump goes out it can do so one of two ways either it can quit and stop working or it can fail intermittently causing the engine to stall or not start.
