Thumbs up

Mine does it very infrequently, but when it does, I simply turn the pump handle to the 1 o'clock position and it will fill all the way up at full squeeze. A little trick I learned here on TMS back when the S197's first started showing up in late 2004.

I've only used 1 gas station thus far, my local Mobil. No issues with fueling for me.
5 or 6 gallons will not be fresh after 3 months

Haven't had time to keep up the last few days... will try to catch up later.

My radiator extensions shipped today, so we'll see if I have a rubbing issue like Leo. I checked the strut covers again yesterday and they still look good.

I have never had an issue while filling the car up with gas, always been full blast.

Installed the 91R this morning after I dropped the kid off at daycare. Surprised I didn't get a ticket, as I don't believe 110 on an access road is actually legal.

It definitely seems to have the punch the other two lacked. Is it an extreme difference, not really but it is definitely noticeable.

If it isn't, it should be...

-----------

As far as the gas filling issue, I have the problem at certain pumps only. At the place I normally get gas, I know which pump to use.

You're right!.. if I just let it sit.

But, that's what I use up in 3 months. Earlier if I keep making videos!

It's because you feel the extra 25+ HP!

BTW, I don't think my comments about the fuel issue were read correctly.

So, I will paraphrase: does anyone else have similar results (the fuel issue NOT occurring) when starting initial flow slowly over the course of ~5 seconds.

Only thing I ever noticed is that when it keeps shutting off on me , I just start real slow with the lever on the pump and it acts right. You may be on to it.

"A low cost alternative to painting that will give your Mustang a custom look. These bezels are manufactured from high grade 1/8" thick laser-cut acrylic for precision fit every time. Available in a variety of colors for a truly custom look! Kits come with a protective layer on both sides of the acrylic for shipping, 3M attachment tape and instructions."

I must ask: what are the instructions for. What do they say..."peel tape and stick"?

Leo, on those two Moss items. But, I'm sure someone will like and buy them... just not me.

Like, Have no clue, but as that one guy suggested, the Ford truck forum may be your best bet. Also check out F150online.com, they're pretty popular too.

Sorry haven't been on for most of the day (and probably tomorrow too), learning a new video editing program to make better Mustang videos for y'all!

Hey Tom, you and I must be the outcasts, because nobody wished me a happy 1yr car birthday yesterday either

Leo-Not sold on the Moss items, I think I will stick to the black bezels they already had.

Bill-Does that mean we finally get a donut video
