Consumer Description

WHENEVER I FILL THE GAS TANK THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, BUT GAS SURGES UP THE SPOUT AND DUMPS ON THE GROUND. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TYPE OF GAS (PREMIUM OR REGULAR, OR ETHANOL OR NO ETHANOL) OR THE SETTING ON THE PUMP HANDLE (FAST OR SLOW). THIS IS A FIRE, EXPLOSION RISK AS WELL AS AN ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM. I REALLY DON'T EXPECT YOU TO DO ANYTHING UNTIL AFTER PEOPLE ARE HURT OR KILLED, BUT WHEN THAT HAPPENS I WANT TO BE ABLE TO SAY "YOU KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM, AND DIDN'T CARE". *TR
