Consumer Description

NOZZLE AT FUEL PUMP WAS STUCK INSIDE THE GAS CAP AND TANK. BOTH FUEL STATION STAFF & I ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE THE NOZZLE FROM THE GAS TANK BUT IT WOULD NOT COME OUT. WE HAD TO USE A PIECE OF METAL TO PRY OUT THE NOZZLE. THERE IS A METAL NOTCH ON THE GAS NOZZLE THAT ONCE INSERTED BECOMES LODGED ON THE INNER LIP OF THE GAS CAP AND YOU CANNOT REMOVE IT. THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT IN THE GAS TANK DESIGN AND COULD CAUSE SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY IF THE GAS NOZZLE CONTINUES TO PUMP GAS AND THE TANK IS FULL.
