Some Ford Fiesta owners report experiencing stalling issues after filling the gas tank, which is often related to problems with the EVAP system. This stalling can be caused by a faulty evaporation canister purge valve within the fuel system. A common solution identified by owners is replacing the Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid, with costs typically ranging from $30 to $35. The location of this solenoid is under the hood, to the right of the engine, just left of the air filter. Additionally, some owners notice difficulty in fully or quickly refueling, which may indicate a stuck or defective purge valve on the vapor canister. Such EVAP system failures usually trigger the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) on the instrument cluster. It is advisable for owners experiencing these issues to have the EVAP system components checked and replaced if necessary to effectively resolve the problem.
