Dodge Durango Fuel System, Gasoline Safety Report | Jan 02, 2011
Reported on Jan 02, 2011
| WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK, AT THE COMPLETION OF FILLING THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF AS NORMAL BUT ABOUT 1-2 SECONDS AFTER APPROXIMATELY 1-2 QUARTS OF FUEL COMES RUSHING OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. IF I AM LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE SELECTED A FUEL PUMP WITH A RUBBER SHIELD , THE FUEL ONLY SPILLS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK AND THEN CREATES A SIZABLE PUDDLE ON THE GROUND. IF I USE A PUMP WITH NO SHIELD , I USUALLY END UP WITH A SATURATED SLEEVE EVEN IF I TRY TO GENTLY FINISH FILLING THE TANK. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM CAUSING A FIRE AND INJURING NOT ONLY MYSELF AND MY FAMILY, BUT ANY OTHERS NEAR ME AT THE GAS STATION. | |
