NHTSA Complaint #11140786 — 2006 FORD MUSTANG

THIS IS JUST THE RECENT EVENT. HAPPENS MORE THE HALF THE TIME WHEN FUELING VEHICLE. WHILE STATIONARY, NEWER MODEL MUSTANG HAVE A SPLIT FUEL TANK EACH HOLDING EIGHT GALLONS. ONE HALF ON DRIVER SIDE , OTHER HALF PASSENGER SIDE , UNDER THE BACK SEATS, THE DRIVERS SIDE WILL FILL AND THE PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT TAKE ANY FUEL. THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHILE TRYING TO FILL THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE FUEL SPILLS ON THE GROUND . WHICH NOT ONLY CAUSES A FIRE PROBLEM , BUT MAYBE MORE IMPORTANTLY A SERIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM. I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FROM GOOGLING IT THINKING I MIGHT BE ABLE TO FIX IT OR IF I NEEDED A NEW TANK AND OR PARTS. WHAT I FOUND OUT WAS THIS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE SPLIT TANK. FIRE IS A DEADLY AND PAINFUL ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN. THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT IS PERMANENT. MAYBE IT IS AN EPA PROBLEM.
