Description of the problem	On my 2006 explorer i am unable to fill the tank with gasoline. It almost immediately backs up the fill tube and turns the fuel pump off. It's been to many mechanics who have told me that the problem is with the fuel tank itself. They have said that it should have been a recall on ford's part long ago. Because of this problem i will be unable to pass emissions test because the vehicle is sensing a fuel vapor leak. Also i have searched the internet far and wide and found many people who say they have the same problem. They have brought their vehicles specifically to ford dealerships who have charged them money to replace parts that did not fix the issue what so ever. Please look further into this problem. On behalf of many others and myself, thank you for your time!
