Capless Tank and funnel??
Stupid Question, I know. But I went to try out some Torco fuel and have never attempted to use a funnel on a capless system. I'm guessing there is a trick here. I guess it has to do with the diameter and design of the gas pumps that allows it to open. Any tricks I can do to release it?

SPARE TIRE? I need to go check. I've never looked under the carpet in the trunk, but I didn't think the 2012 GT came with a spare tire. What a surprise that will be if I find one!

Should be able to use a long thin funnel like a transmission funnel if the small stock emergency funnel is too short and small to poor in the TORCO.
And on cars that come without the spare tire, the emergency funnel is in the same holder as the mobility kit air pump.

Be careful what you stick down there. I used a thin 3/8 diameter funnel from AutoZone that was ribbed and it gut stuck when I tried to pull it out. Found out the hard way. I was able to use a screwdriver to push the little door open and get the tube out but for a min I thought I was up the creek. Lol.

One other thing: bring the owners manual into the bathroom....there's a wealth of information you can learn about your Mustang. Better than trying to solve the worlds problems while sitting in there.

When I read the owners manual I was surprised that it sounded disposable...
"5. When done, clean the funnel or properly dispose of it. Extra funnels
can be purchased from your authorized dealer if you choose to dispose
of the funnel."

I find that surprising. The salesman was SUPPOSED to explain the tire inflator/spare tire setup, the capless gas tank, and the emergency funnel when you bought the car. Obviously someone didn't do their job very well.

They're throwing a lot of information at you in a short period of time. All the time your subconscious is screaming at you, "Lets drive that Mustang". It's just hard to remember everything.

Then at night, when nature calls, I grab the owners manual and read....
