| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: When pumping fuel into the vehicle, fuel sprays out onto the ground. the dealer states that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. *ak the back pressure was causing the gasoline to splash back and the pump nozzle would shut off. it was determined that ice and snow had built up on top of the gas tank and caused the orvr valve to stick. the ice and snow was removed and everything was fine for a week but the problem recurred. the screws holding the pump onto the fuel tank were breaking therefore the fuel tank was replaced along with the orvr. *sc |
