Escape Limited 3.0L V6

Occurs at multiple gas stations: Refuel nozzle became jammed multiple times due to a new lip design Several hoses had to be cut due inability to remove nozzle from vehicle Fire department recent removal attempt using for for initial test resulted in sparks at the fuel cap, damage to fuel filler nozzle, and damage to Ford capless fuel filler neck Discovered capless fuel system is not compatible with new OPW gas nozzles (will catch and damage or destroy retractable internal plug) Car now unable to seal fuel system, venting hydro-carbons as a result. Replacement of part with OEM part will not resolve issue Avoiding stations with OPW nozzles will prevent issue. Fire department recommended filing this report for extreme safety concerns involving friction induced sparks at fuel filler neck
