| Description of the problem | Shortly after filling up with gas, i often experience difficulty with the vehicle. It sometimes stalls. It acts up within a minute or two by trying to stall. I try to give it as much gas as i can and it eventually stops acting up if it doesn't stall first. The dealer says they cannot replace the fuel filter, because it is part of the whole gas tank setup. It is not replaceable like most fuel filters are. It seems to me that it is the fuel filter needing to be cleaned. I do believe it is ruining my fuel pump slowly. I am concerned about when it stalls that someone may run into the back of me. |
