Description of the problem | When trying to pump gas, the sensor cuts the flow of gas off at about one half gallon. If you remove the nozzle, gas splashes back and all over the person pumping, the car and the ground. When you continue to pump, the sensor cuts off every second. There is no way the tank can be filled in its entirety. I have had the gas set up rebuilt by my local mechanic, thinking something might be blocking the connection of gas entry to tank, but there was nothing and the problem was not resolved. I was then informed that this is common, that i must find a gas station that has a specific pump with no sensor (not a single station anywhere near my residence), i have to tilt the pump at a 90 degree angle. Well, i tried all of the suggestions, yet my car is still splashing gas, etc. This is a hazard! Not only spilling gas on the ground and vehicle, but myself!! Also, i cannot fill the tank, making a very dangerous situation in new england winters where you can get stranded for hours in your car in road accidents, conditions, etc. Please help! I do not think i should have to hunt down a specific gas station that doesn't exist, or spend more money trying to find someone who can fix this, or wear gasoline wherever i go. Please help!!!!! |
