 Description of the problemMany 2005 and newer ford mustangs are having difficulty when filling the fuel tank. It is very slow to fill, often taking more than 20 minutes to completely fill. You have to manually dispense the fuel into the tank, as even the first detent on the handle from the pump causes the pump to auto shut off. Many times the tank will overflow, spilling fuel onto the ground, because there is no auto shut off when trickling fuel into the tank. I have had my gas tank replaced under warranty, and the problem still exists. Ford says that this is a normal characteristic of the car, and they are not going to fix my problem. Other mustang owners have been told the same thing. This has been a problem since i purchased the car. With thousands of 2005 and newer ford mustangs on the road, this can be a potential epa issue with all the spilled fuel. Not only is this a huge inconvenience for all mustang owners, it is a safety issue. It is not normal for any car to not take fuel. Many owners have resorted to turning the nozzle upside down to try and trick the fuel tank, so it will accept the fuel. I have to deal with this problem every week when i refuel. With temperatures below zero and strong wind gusts, it is dangerous to stand outside and monitor the gas pump. *nm
