Filling The Fuel Tank - Ford Mustang Owner's Manual

Filling the Fuel Tank

The fuel door is outside the car on the passenger
side near the back. To fill the fuel tank:
NOTE: If the fuel tank is filled while the
ignition key remains in the "ON"
position, there will be a significant
delay in fuel indication due to the
"anti-slosh" calculations.
1. After opening the fuel filler door, remove
the cap carefully and slowly by turning it
counterclockwise 1/2 to 3/4 turn.
The fuel system may be under pressure. If
the fuel cap is venting vapor or if you
hear a hissing sound, wait until it stops
before completely removing the cap.
2. Put the nozzle all the way inside the fuel
filler pipe before pumping the fuel.
NOTE: If you spill any fuel on the body of
your vehicle, clean it off immediately.
The fuel may dull or soften the paint
if you do not wash it off.
3. Replace the fuel cap completely when you
are finished. Turn it clockwise 1/4 turn until
it is tight. It will click when it is fully
tightened.
4. Push the fuel door closed.
If you do not use the proper fuel cap, the
pressure in the fuel tank can damage the
fuel system or cause it to work improperly
in a collision.
