Description of the problem | Fueled the vehicle, attendant "topped it off". Started vehicle and it sputtered, running poorly as if it had a fuel issue. Smelt fuel from under the hood. Let vehicle set for 10 minutes, started up vehicle and proceeded to a 4-lane main highway. Just as we accelerated from the stop light, the car sputtered, then died. I managed to pull over to the side of the road out of traffic. Let the unit set for 10 minutes, ran the vehicle and no further issues that day. At the next fill up, the same pattern emerged. A third incident occurred a few months later and i researched the problem. Since that time i have cautioned the fuel attendants to not "top it off" and the issue has not reoccurred. |
