ISSUE
Some 2005 Mustang vehicles built before 4/26/2005, may exhibit the fuel tank being slow or difficult to fill. The condition may be described as, repeated rapid shut-offs of the filling station pump nozzle, or multiple nozzle shut-offs when attempting to fill the fuel tank. The condition may be due to the fuel tank vapor venting system inside the fuel tank.
ACTION
Install a new fuel tank. Refer to Section 310-01 of the Workshop Manual. The new fuel tank has a revised internal venting system to improve fuel filling.
NOTE
SOME PUMP NOZZLE SHUT-OFFS MAY BE DUE TO THE FILLING STATION PUMP DELIVERING THE FUEL TOO QUICKLY. THIS IS NORMAL.
