| Description of the problem | On three occasions, while pumping gas into my truck, the fuel nozzle shuts off and oversprays on to the side of my truck. This has happened at 3 different gas stations. I feel that this could be a fire hazard as well as a health hazard it were to happen to an elderly person. The pump nozzle does not fit snugly into the fuel tank. I think it is because of the angle that the fuel line going into the fuel tank is positioned, it almost seems to steep of a turn. All three times the fuel backs up into the tank and oversprays me if i'm standing close. I've learned not to stand close now, but i still get fuel all on me when i have to hang up the fuel pump, and fuel is all on the side of my truck now too.... Very irritating ford! |
