| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Difficulty in filling fuel tank. i have had this problem from the time i purchased vehicle, to present. vehicle is 2005 mustang gt and has over 5000 miles on it. basically, approx. every other time i try to fill fuel tank, one of two things happens: (1) fuel nozzle will almost immediately shut off- as if tank is already full. after multiple attempts (waiting, experimenting with angle and/or depth of nozzle insertion) i can almost always get fuel to start flowing into the tank. that's when symptom (2) can happen (again, roughly half of time i pull into station). at about the point when tank is half full, the nozzle will stop filling (as if tank is full) and will refuse to take anymore gas no matter what i do. i have experimented with different gas stations, and even with different pumps at same station and have yet to determine a pattern - or why this happens so randomly. one thing i'm sure of is that it's the vehicle's problem, as other cars i have had recently never did this. i have seen that this issue is known about by ford and a tsb has been issued. however, from forum posts i've seen on internet, it appears that fuel tank replacements ford has done for this issue many times do not fix issue. for that reason, i have lived with this annoyance so far. *jb |
