TSB 7-21-12 instructs the tech to replace the fuel tank with one of a new design if the car exhibits a problem at gas stations where the gas pump stops delivering fuel before the tank is full. This TSB refers to TSB 05-15-12 for additional details of the new fuel tank (perhaps the part number). The Basic Part is the suspect part number.

The TSB only applies to 2005 Mustangs built before 4/26/2005 because the that's when the new revised fuel tanks were introduced onto production vehicles.

Ok so i have that problem and i assumed the tsb would show me how to fix it. Now do i have to take it ford to fix and if so am i screwed since its out of warrenty(and i bought it from a chevy dealer used)? If i don't have to take it to ford how do i fix it?

What is the build date shown on the label affixed to the driver's side door jamb?

I thought that the way to fill it up was to hold the nozzle upside down?

The door says 04/05

There's a good chance that your car has the fuel tank that exhibits the problem described by the TSB.

ok then how does it get fixed

A TSB is not a recall, but just a notice for the techs. It's a start point for described problems from customers. Out of waranty, out of luck.

So there is zero ways fix this aside from turning the nozzle upside down or sideways.
