| Description of the problem | The gas tank overflows every time it is filled up. The automatic shut does not work. This has happened every single time no matter which gas station or what type of gas. Holding the nozzle at different angles does not help. The only way to avoid this is to pay very close attention to the number of gallons of gas being put in the tank. This is a hazard as gas gets everywhere, especially the person pumping the gas and will likely ruin the paint job; also leads to wasted gasoline/money. |
