| Description of the problem | When the gas tank is filling up, the gas nozzle continues to shoot gas out of the tank. This has happened every time we have filled our tank up regardless of what station we were using. Local dodge dealer said it was not related to the vehicles fuel system or design. This is a big safety hazard because the vehicle builds up a high static charge due to the fabric seats etc. Can be quite a shock which is not good to mix with this gasoline problem. *jb |
