Consumer Description

AS I FILL THE TANK THE PUMP WILL SHUT OFF AND AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT THE GAS HAS A LARGE SPLASH BACK FROM INSIDE OF THE TANK I CONSULTED A MECHANIC AND HE STATED THAT IT IS THE ROLL OVER/VENT VALVE INSIDE OF THE TANK AND THAT IT DOES NOT OPEN AND CLOSE CORRECTLY AND THAT THE ONLY FIX FOR IT IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK AT MY EXPENSE. THIS CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD IN TWO WAYS WHEN FUELING THE CAR, GROUND AND THE OPERATOR SHOULD NOT BE COVERED WITH GASOLINE AT ANY TIME SECOND IF THE ROLL OVER VALVE FAILS THEN IT SHOULD BE A FAILURE OF THE MFG AND SHOULD BE REPLACED. *JS
