i had a gas problem with mine and idk if it is similar to what you are talking about but i had a bad gas smell. check your grommet that connects the filling tube to the gas tank because the seal broke on mine and the fumes where coming out and i had a small drip of gas.

Yea same on mine, it was actually gushing out when I filled up. Seems like it might be a common thing on mustangs cuz I've done a couple on customers cars also.

yea it happens once you fill up so check to see if that is it. and i know that this leak threw off my check engine lights but once i fixed the grommet everything is back and fine. hope that might help.

I had this same issue, but it only happens when I fill up all the way. If I stop 1/2 gallon short of full...no issue.
