| Description of the problem | I ran out of gas, i pulled into a gas station, i filled my tank. As my tank became full, i expected the pump to automatically stop, as they are designed to do. Instead, i watched fuel spew out of my filler neck, and had to stop the pump myself. I went inside the gas station to tell the attendant that their pump must be faulty. They explained to me that they have never received that complaint before, so i left. The next time i needed fuel, i went to a different gas station, and experienced the same problem. I then went three fill-ups with no issue. On the fourth re-fueling episode, it happened again, at a totally different station. Therefore, i believe the problem is in the jeep's filler neck, not the fuel pumps i was using. The consequences of this problem are obvious, it is a fire hazard, it spews gasoline all over the vehicle's paint, and all over your legs and shoes, depending on where you are standing. Also, it is an environmental issue. |
