| Description of the problem | Large amounts of gasoline sprays out when refueling the vehicle. The gasoline comes out with such force that it is impossible to avoid getting gasoline on hand, arm and clothing. It occurs when the tank becomes full. At first i thought it was a problem with the gas stations pump. It was intermittent at first but now occurs every time i put gas in the vehicle regardless of which gas station pump i use. This is more than an inconvenience and should be considered a safety issue! |
