Consumer Description

WHEN ADDING FUEL TO THE CAR, THE PUMP CONSTANTLY SHUTS OFF AS IF THE TANK IS FULL. THIS IS NOT A NOZZLE PROBLEM AS I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO OVER 15 DIFFERENT STATIONS. . IT TAKES 10 - 15 MINUTES TO RE-FUEL A 10 GALLON TANK. THE PURGE VALVE WAS REPLACED. THE MECHANIC SAYS THE CAR NEEDS A NEW TANK AT $1,000 USD. THE TANK IS NOT AVAILABLE, IT IS ON BACK ORDER, WITH NO DELIVERY DATE AVAILABLE.
