Hey everyone, on monday i just got myself an 05 gt with 8700 miles (im stepping up from a 2000 v6 ) absolutely love the car, but today i just noticed something, my fuel gauge reads 3/4 of a tank although it does not allow me to put any more fuel in it. When the dealership gassed it up for me i wondered why it only read 3/4 i know the tank is full but the gauge is just not showing it? im gonna take it to ford tommorow, its still under warranty. Anybody have any ideas though?
oops answered my own question with some heavy searching, apparently im just gonna have to get a whole new fuel tank :( thank god for warranties!
It sucks to have issues early, but atleast its under warranty. And I'm glad my Wife convinced my friend to buy the extra warranty on his 02 Kia Spectra he bought a few months back. He bought the car, and within 2 weeks the transmission was gone. So he got a new transmission for free under warranty. Hopefully you get everything fixed as soon as possible and start the modding.

Hmm, well car has been at ford all day, they say all the gauges and everything check out ok, and that my build date is passed the build date for the cars with defective gas takes. Im perplexed, and ford seems to be too, once again , any ideas from anybody?
1. Dealer possibly FOS. Fixing warranty problems not lucrative enough to be worth their time. 2. If it all really checks out have them demostrate that fact to you. Ask them what the next steps are if the symptom returns. 3. Document everything.
i know how you feel,a year ago i stepped up from a 02 v6.when i first got in this,i understood why people ranted about the power of it.love this car.
