Always check the owner's manual for specific recommendations and ensure the system is properly bled to remove any air pockets.
According to the 2005 Ford Mustang Owner Guide : The cooling system capacity is 13.6 quarts ( 12.9 liters ) So , a 50 / 50 mix of antifreeze and preferably distilled water would require : ( 6.8 quarts / 6.45 liters of antifreeze ) * Ford shows not to use less than 40 % antifreeze and not to exceed 60 % antifreeze in the cooling system mixture *
Wrong PSI radiator cap or defective radiator cap installed. NEW ANSWER: The above answer is true ( COULD BE ) But I would bet you have a BLOWN / LEAKING head gasket that is building pressure in the water / cooling system.

Depending on which engine you have it should take between 10 and 12 quarts to fill an empty cooling system. If you are just draining the radiator, probably 4 quarts. This coolant mixture should be at least a 50/50 mix of anti freeze and clean water.
