2022 Ford Maverick — long crank only after filling the fuel tank

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2022 Ford Maverick in Los Angeles, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. I'd do that before spending real money.

I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2022 Ford Maverick owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. I'd do that before spending real money.

This is from a 2022 Ford Maverick in Los Angeles with 86,000 miles. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.
