| Description of the problem | Fuel spills out of the tank when the tank is full. I never top off after the pump stops. This first occurred a few years ago and then didn't happen again for a while, but lately, it has become more frequent, and seems to be worsening. At first, the spill would be minor and occurred only when i took the nozzle out of the tank. A couple weeks ago, gas was spilling out of my tank just as the pump stopped. Today, gas was squirting out of the tank and onto me. Very concerned about potential dangers of spilled fuel--fire, environmental, personal injury from contact with gas, damage to vehicle. |
