Consumer Description
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2009 DODGE RAM 1500 LARAMIE 4WD. UPON PURCHASING IT, I WENT TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL IT WITH FUEL IN ORDER TO DRIVE IT HOME. WITH THE FUEL NOZZLE LOCKED INTO THE AUTO-FILL POSITION, AS THE TANK NEARED FULL AND SHUT THE NOZZLE OFF DUE TO PRESSURIZATION, FUEL SHOT OUT OF THE FILLER SPOT OF THE TRUCK AT LEAST ONE FOOT. FUEL SPILLED ON THE GROUND, DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK, AND ON MY SHOES. THIS HAS OCCURRED EVERY TIME I FILL THE TRUCK UP AT EVERY GAS STATION, AND I HAVE FILLED UP IN THREE DIFFERENT STATES. EVERYTIME THE PUMP SHUTS OFF DUE TO PRESSURE, IT'S LIKE THE TANK BURPS AND SHOOTS FUEL OUT THE FILLER SPOUT OF THE TRUCK AT LEAST ONE FOOT IN THE AIR, DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK, AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. I HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY LUCKY NO TO HAVE BEEN STANDING IN FRONT OF THE SPOUT WHEN THE TANK SHUTS OFF. THIS IS AN EXTREME FIRE HAZARD! I HAVE READ MANY FORUMS ABOUT PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS VERY ISSUE, AND THE FIX IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK BECAUSE THERE IS A CHECK VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK THAT HAS FAILED. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL! *TR
