Stalling Problems

I've got a '96 that's developing a stalling problem. After refueling, (only after refueling) the car, for the next ten miles or so, it wants to stall out when I slow down to turn or stop for a stop sign. Any ideas?
Thanks, Dave

also make sure you are closing your fuel cap completely. Some Fords are set up to even throw the check engine light if the cap is not completely sealed.

Have you changed the gas line filter on the car, which is located
under the car. The way I see it, your fuel filter may be partially clogged,
and when you buy gas the vacum in the fuel tank is decreased causing
the fuel pump to work not as efficient, until the vacum is built up again
after a few miles of driving. Your fuel filter should be changed every
two years or more often if you are a driving more than normal. Changing
your filter will also help your fuel pump not to work as hard.
