Tank ventilation maybe? Sometime back I had to drop the 35 gallon tank in my '96 Dodge to replace the fuel pump/guage sensor. The tank was almost full as luck would have it, and couldn't syphon the fuel because at the base of the filler tube where meets the tank is a anti-theft strainer or one way check valve of sorts that will let fuel past, not a syphon tube. Lowered the tank the hard way...two guys straining for all was worth. Something happened to me yesterday with the kitchen sink that makes me think of it. Was running the water fast, and the sink started to fill up as though was clogged, but it wasn't. All that happened was an air bubble formed in the drain that wouldn't burp until I stabbed a knife into the drain where the strainer goes. It burped, water swirled right down. Or maybe in your case, if its cold maybe moisture froze and is blocking whatever device Ford might be using at the base of the filler for anti-theft, if they're using such a thing?
Just a guess. Can't think of anything else that would stop perfectly good fuel from going down a perfectly good hole.
