1995 Ford Mustang Fuel system Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the fuel system system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Fuel system reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

GAS TANK BURST A SPRAYING LEAK OF FUEL AT THE SIDE FILLER TUBE CONNECTOR WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT OCCURING. APPROXIMATELY FIVE GALLONS OF FUEL SPRAYED OUT, CAUSING FUEL TO RUN OUT ON THE BOTTOM OF THE CHASSIS AND DRIPPING OUT ON THE SIDES OF THE CAR.*AK MY WIFE'S SHOES AND FEET WERE SOAKED WITH GASOLINE FROM JUST STANDING BY THE CAR. THIS LEAK IS NOT FROM A BREATHER TUBE AT THE TOP OF THE TANK. THIS LEAK IS AT THE MIDDLE RIGHT SIDE OF THE TANK AT THE FILLER TUBE CONNECTION. HAS A RECALL BEEN RECOGNIZED? THIS COULD BE DISASTEROUS IN AN IMPACT AUTO CRASH! THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED OUT TO ASSIST THE POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS FUEL SPRAYING.
