Ok so, I dont know what causes it but sometimes when I go to fill up I cant press full power on the gas nozzel cause then it just stops like it would if the tank was full, except I fill up at like quarter or half (mostly quarter but if i have to stop at a gas station to get a monster for workout or something) so does anyone else get this? I jsut had the problem where if i move it around in different variations of power (power = how much the handle is pulled down to let the gas out) or depending on how far in I put the nozzel or how much i pull the nozel out, most of the time it'll stil stop when i push full power, a few exceptions when i pushed the gas nozzel all the way in and hit full power it was fine.. its annoying!

I had my tank replaced, and it fixed it for the most part. It seems that the original tank had a defect and there is a TSB out about it and ford will repalce it for free. Shell and other gas stations have some air lock thing with their pumps which messes with the tank, for some reason when I had my defect tank it was only affected at high end gas stations, but little mom and pop stations worked fine. Even now with my new tank I gotta let my tank air out for like 60 seconds or so before filling up, but then it works fine.

Got my GT in Sept. 05. I have been experiencing this problem from day 1. Finally got fed up with it and took it to the dealer last Monday. They ordered a new tank right away. No hassle. Tank came in yesterday, hope to have the car back tomorrow afternoon. They gave me a brand new Ford Focus to drive all week while they had my car. Man does this thing run. I went from 0-50 in 18 seconds. I get all kinds of looks from women as I pass by them. Mostly looks of disgust and pity. Please give me back my mustang.

They fixed my tank in 2 hours :eyepoppin! Hopefully you get yours all worked out!
