Looks like it may have too much fluid inside. But, it also has to have a loose fill bolt, if manual transmission, or dip stick if automatic, or the drain bolt is loose. Have someone check to see which problem it is, and check the proper oil level and tighten the plugs.

when u run the gas tank empty it severly overheats the electric fuel pump inside the gas tank, this tiny pump depends solely on the fuel flowing around and through it to lubricate and cool it so it won't overheat, you have seized up the fuel pump, u can let it cool for an hour and make sure the pump is totaly immersed in fuel before retrying that means u must put in at least 5 gallons of gas.

You should not attempt this fix unless you have been a mechanic long enough to have someone hands on to teach you. You have to disconnect the air bag. Remove the steering wheel. There is a cover over the steering column that contains the wiring for the turn signals. That complex bunch of wires and switches has to be removed. After removing the flange that covers the shaft and removing the shift lever. the pin will be exposed. I have many years of mechanical work and would take it to a shop that specializes in Ford products. One of the best reference sources to find someone who can do the work is a used car dealer.

You don't want to drive a car without the power steering pump connected. It's another story if you bypass the A/C...

The fuel pump is inside the tank, so pulling the tank is a reasonable way to get to it. You may be able to pull it from the top of the tank without pulling the entire tank, depends on how they put it in. I honestly don't remember pulling the tank on mine when the pump went bad.
