| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Problem with gas tank when refueling . when the condition occurs which is often , the car will not take more than 1 or 2 gallons of gas. car was brought back to dealership to check fuel gauge . dealer stated that this is a common problem caused by equal air pressure inside tank with outside air pressure .this equal pressure is the reason why gas cannot be pumped into car . when you continuously play with gas nozzle eventually you break the air pressure seal. often times you get gasoline spilled on your hands and clothing as well as on ground. it is very easy for a person to think that their gas gauge is defective and drive on eventually to run out of gas.*ak |
