| Description of the problem | Suddenly one day i was no longer able to pump gas into my vehicle. Whenever i try to fill up my gas tank gas were just back up, no matter how empty my tank was. I took my vehicle to my dealership, and a stated that there was a valve at the top of my gas at the top of my fuel tank that is preventing the gas from draining into the tank. Nothing that i did or could have done caused this issue to break. And when i inquired about replacing the valve they stated that i would have to replace the entire fuel tank system, but the part was on back order for 1 to 2 months because they were sold out. |
