Consumer Description

BEGINNING WITH THE FIRST TIME I FILLED THE TANK, WHEN THE FUEL FULLER NOZZLE IS SET TO AUTO FILL, WHEN THE FILLER CLICKS OFF, FUEL GUSHES BACK OUT OF THE TANK AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. I WAS STANDING TOO CLOSE AND MY PANTS LEG GOT SOAKED TO THE POINT THAT MY SKIN BURNED FROM THE PRESENCE OF GASOLINE. [I'M GLAD THAT I QUIT SMOKING IN 1984 NOW FOR AN ADDITIONAL REASON.] THE NEXT TIME I FILLED THE TANK, I WATCHED THE VOLUME DELIVERED AND STOPPED THE FLOW ABOUT TWO GALLONS BEFORE FULL AND GENTLY PUMPED THE LAST AMOUNT IN. WHEN IT WAS FULL, IT BURPED OUT ABOUT A PINT AND A HALF ANYWAY. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD. I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY RECALLED THE 2005 FOR THIS ISSUE AND DIDN'T FIX THE REAL PROBLEM! THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE BETS BURNED. *TR
