2005 Mustang Fuel Tank Problems - Slow To Fill

Ford has had a problem with the fuel tanks on some 2005 Mustangs. A design flaw prevents the mustang gas tank from being filled more than about half way in some instances. The problem results in repeated rapid shut offs of the filling station pump. The condition may be due to the fuel tank vapor venting system inside the fuel tank.

Ford has issued a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB 05-4-8) for the fueling problem, but the repair does not always work.

If your Mustang has this problem, please call or email our office. Your car may qualify for repurchase under the Lemon Law.
