| Description of the problem | So when ever i fuel my car at the pump by clicking the fuel pump to auto start, the pump usually stop pumping after about 15 sec, and then you will have to manual fill again with your hang or start the auto fueling again. So today when i started fueling my car again after about 4 or 5 gallon of fueling had already enter the vehicle, the fuel started to spray out from the nozzle where you place the fuel pump out, fuel got all over my body. I quick notice it, and turned the auto start pumping feature off with my hands. Afterward, i went to my car and check how fill was the tank, and it was only 3/4 full. It wasn't full i was quiet surprised to my finding that gasoline started spraying out. |
