I have been having trouble with my 05 stang, the gas gauge sometimes goes to Empty and if flashes a code stating Fuel level low DTE FLI DATA ERR and some times it just gives me a wrong reading knowing how much gas is in there.
I found this TSB
http://www.stangnet.com/images/stories/docs/s197_TSBs/06-10-13.pdf
Now does this mean they will fix it for free or there a catch to the TSB thing? My warranty went out 10k ago. I went by and had them check it out and they told me $455 to swap out both sending units. The service lady told me there was a TSB but that it only said they required both units to be changed.

A TSB is just a technical service bulletin, not a recall. If your car is out of warranty then you will have to pay to get it fixed.

Isn't this something to do with high sulphur gas? Check out the Corvette forums as they have similar problems. Using different gas and slinging something in the tank can help unstick the float or something like that.

Try running a bottle of Techron through it. I read in a similar thread (no idea where now) that the dealer was trying that before replacing the sending units. Apparently that did the trick.
