I notice a big difference right after i fill up.

It didn't shift smoother it just ran smoother. I replaced the fuel filter, and put a fuel system cleaner in. Now the car runs the same no matter how much gas I have. However, it is better for your car to run with at least 1/2 a tank or more. This prevents deposits in your tank from getting into the engine. In terms of shifting smoother...well maybe you should flush your transmission. I don't see why the amount of gas should effect your shifting. I'm guessing that you have an automatic. Just a few things to think about. You could take it to a mechanic and have them look at your tranny and your fuel system. However, the other option is to keep your tank full, and hope that it keeps working. __________________ MWWarlord 1995 Mustang convertible check out my garage for pics and a complete list of mods. http://www.tricktuners.com
