Why does my Ford S-Max have trouble starting after fueling?

My Ford S-Max has been having trouble starting after I fill up the tank with fuel. It takes multiple turns of the key to start the engine and even then it sputters and hesitates. What could be causing this issue and how can I fix it?

It sounds like your fuel pump may need to be replaced. As they age, they can have trouble handling the increased fuel pressure after a refill. I recommend having a mechanic take a look and replace it if necessary.

Another possible cause could be a clogged fuel filter. If it hasn't been changed in a while, it could be restricting the flow of fuel to the engine. I suggest getting it replaced and see if that solves the issue.
