| Description of the problem | When i stop for gas, i try to fill the gas tank, gas comes gushing out from around the tank opening. This has happened several times. About a pint or more sprays out all over me the side of my vehicle and the ground. I am afraid of the volatility of the gas so i won't take a photo for fear of a spark. Not only is this physical getting fuel on my person but an environment hazard too. Need help soon the factory won't do anything about it although they have fixed similar trucks that do the exact same thing, they say i am not covered! They say it is happening because of the roll-over valve sticking. Not only am i at risk of burning up at the station, i could be incinerated in a roll-over crash!! |
