Only for California owners. :doh2:

I had that problem the first couple months after I got my car & then it didn't happen again until this year on my way to Orfstock.

Mine has only happened twice.

Both times on return trips from Orfstock.

A year apart and about the same place????




Edit: I think it may have happened when I had the car a few months and it was really hot out.

never happened to me....

Happened to me a few times,especially when the car's around 1/2 tk,......got to go very slowly ,or it'll click every 3-4 sec.

never happened to me and it's my daily driver, so I'm filling frequently. maybe it's operator error?

Still not finding any fix for this. :nonono:

Bill, interesting that there's talk about it on virtually every Mustang forum (I looked at a half dozen of them) but this is the only actual answer I could find ...by a 17+ year Ford Tech (http://www.justanswer.com/ford/3jqf2-problem-refueling-fuel-pump-slow.html). Essentially a known problem on 2005s (built before 4/26/05, whcih is essentially the whole MY run) which resulted in a modified tank design but all 2007s should have the revised tank. Still, it's reported widely on 2005-2007 mustangs. I have seen several folks swear that when they use a differnt station/pump-type the problem goes away and the Ford tech even mentions using a diferent filing station. I'm thinking some nozels may fit a bit tighter than others and at high flow rates might trip the nozzle back pressure sensor -- even on on the revised tank -- so maybe filling at a slower rate might help too?

I am having this issue.

[Tommy Gun]

I haven't in a while because I no longer drive my car long distance or through mountainous areas. :nonono:

Sucks not being able to drive it where I want.

When does yours do it?

I am having this issue.
Finally made it to the second tank of gas, Timmy? :wow2:

[The Bone]

I had this issue the other day. I finely gave up and left the station with 1/2 tank

I never get more than 6-7 gallons anymore. :nonono:

I haven't had this problem but have heard from others that have and it seems to help if you hold the nozzle upside down when you fill the tank.

Only when I drive it. I've experienced it twice in the last five years.

I have 34k miles on mine. NEVER happened once.

This is w/ the "original" Shelbys, not the 2008's I believe.

I think it helps if you keep your battery at 1/4 charge.

[The Bone]

+1

I think it helps if you keep your battery terminals dirty
Fixed it for ya. :haha:

Might be due to the 50lbs of sand I put in your gas tank last year.
