Description of the problem	This incident occurs every time i fill up with fuel. It began at approximately 35,000 miles and continues until this day at about 116,000 miles. Incident description: i enter the gas station. I fill up with fuel until the pump stops, not a "top-off". I start the ignition and begin to drive away. The engine stutters and sometimes stalls completely. After a short distance, 3 miles or so, it runs normally. Recently after my knee surgery, my wife was driving and pulled out into traffic, left hand turn, after a refuel. We were trying high-test ethanol free gasoline. Well she made it into the center turning lane and waited her turn. When an opening arrived she pressed the accelerator and the van started and failed completely, leaving us half-way in the lane for oncoming traffic. Thankfully the oncoming traffic slowed as they blew their horns and she was able to restart the van and begin to drive. This was a most miserable experience especially since we had all three of our small children in the van with us. Something really needs to be done to correct this ongoing and dangerous issue.
