And so how do the two tanks finally equalize out?
And how does the gas get back to the side with
the fuel level sender and pump during normal driving?
Not whining but always wondered and you seem to
have SOME knowledge about the subject.....
Thanks Prime

Well what happens is the gas doesn't have time to transfer over to the passenger side of the tank. The drivers sump fills up causing it to click off. Thats why it happens around 7 gallons.If you were to pull the pump and senders out the passenger side would be dry while the drivers is full. Thats why it usually happens when the tank is ran low. Pumping it in slow is usually the best way to avoid it. It'll just take an extra minute to fill up.

This article supersedes TSB 06-3-13 to update the vehicle model years.
ISSUE:[/u]
Some 2005-2007 Mustang vehicles may experience premature automatic shut off of the fuel fill nozzle. Several variables, including variations in fuel pump nozzles, fuel flow rates, and fuel flow pressure may result in the premature automatic shut off of the fuel fill nozzle making it more difficult to fill the fuel tank.
The automatic shut off in the fuel fill nozzle may trigger multiple times after delivering several gallons of fuel or it may trigger repeatedly when attempting to establish fuel flow into the fuel tank. The latter concern may be more common when adding fuel to a vehicle where the fuel level is at or above 1/2 full.
ACTION:[/u]
Refer to Service Procedure.
SERVICE PROCEDURE[/b][/u]
On 2005 Mustangs vehicles built before 4/26/2005 that experience premature automatic shut-off of the fuel fill nozzle more than occasionally may benefit from replacing the fuel tank with a revised design tank per TSB 05-15-12. The revised design fuel tank may reduce the occurrence of premature automatic shut off.
On 2005 Mustang vehicles built on or after 4/26/2005 and 2006-2007 model year vehicles were built with the revised design fuel tank. As a result, replacing the fuel tank on these vehicles will not change the occurrence of automatic fuel fill shut off.
Occurrences of premature shut-off may be resolved or improved by using a different filling station fuel pump. Unauthorized modifications and/or alterations to the vehicle are not reimbursable under warranty and are not recommended for this issue.

RE: Problem with gas tank
This would happen to me from time to time. When at the dealer for an oil change I asked about it and they told me to fill the talk a little slower. I started doing that and it never happened again.

I use the slow method, but it really depends on the pump. Some I have to fight it all the way through the fill up, and on others, once I get the flow going, I can go full speed. Sounds like prostrate trouble.
