1 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2019

When I try to put gas in my car the car will only allow me to put half of a tank in the car and I have to force it to take more which as cause the gasoline to overflow even when the tank is not full. I have tried taking it to various gasoline stations all different brands to see if there are any differences but have not had any success. Also the vehicle is staionary. This originally happen in 2019 but it has happen every time since then. Also my reverse light will not turn off for some reason. Don't know why.

2 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

This is just the recent event. Happens more the half the time when fueling vehicle. While stationary, newer model Mustang have a split fuel tank each holding eight gallons. One half on driver side , other half passenger side , under the back seats, the drivers side will fill and the passenger side will not take any fuel. The problem occurs while trying to fill the passenger side. The fuel spills on the ground . Which not only causes a fire problem , but maybe more importantly a serious environmental problem. I found out about this problem from googling it thinking I might be able to fix it or if I needed a new tank and or parts. What I found out was this a common problem with the split tank. Fire is a deadly and painful accident to happen. The environmental impact is permanent. Maybe it is an epa problem.

When at gas station you cant fill up the gas tank without it spitting the gas back out. Not even full when this is happening.

I am a senior that owns a 2006 Mustang convertible the gas tank fill has backed up on me twice causing a skin reaction dealer where I purchased car says there is nothing the matter it makes traveling very unsafe as I never know when tank will allow a fill-up Ford should help with a solution I may have to give my car up as there does not seem to be any interest in consumer complaints.

5 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 10/08/2012

Lately when I try to fill up my 2006 Mustang the gas pump either automatically stops around 1/2 tank or gas gushes down the side of my car and on the ground when trying to fill it full. Definite fire hazard along with other safety issues. Looked up online and this seems to be a issue with thousands of Mustangs with the s197 gas tanks. Lets dont let a fire at a gas pump cost someones life before we make Ford fix this issue. Car is out of warranty so Ford will not fix.
