problem #2

Oct 282007

Mustang 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 200 miles
The gas tank is very hard to fill if the tank is over 1/4 tank. It doesn't matter what gas station you use or how the handle is positioned. The automatic fuel shutoff feature of the gas handle will shut off as if there were back pressure.
