| Description of the problem | When refueling the vehicle, the gas almost always spurts out of the gas cap opening. This happens whether i let the nozzle on auto fill or if i manually hold the gas nozzle. It happens if the gas flow is slow or fast. I have met others with the same type vehicle with the same problem, but no one has bothered to report it. The gas has spurted out on my hand, my gloves, my clothes, and my shoes. I have learned to stand slightly back and it then spills over the side of my car and onto the ground. I have several pictures. |
