Consumer Description

WHEN FUELING, THE FILLER NOZZLE NEVER SHUTS OFF. FUEL SPEWS OUT OF THE FILL NECK ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK, THE GROUND, AND YOU (IF YOU'RE STANDING TOO CLOSE). THIS HAS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I'VE FILL THE TRUCK. I'VE TRIED DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND IT HAPPENS AT EVERY ONE. THIS IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM AS WELL AS A SAFETY ISSUE. BASED ON THE RESEARCH I'VE CONDUCTED, THIS PROBLEM IS RELATED TO A "ROLLOVER" VALVE. THIS VALVE IS DESIGNED TO PREVENT FUEL FROM FLOWING OUT OF THE FILL NECK IN THE EVENT OF A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, AND BASED ON MY INTERNET SEARCH, THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. I BELIEVE A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR
