What owners wrote
When attempting to refuel the truck, the metal ring with the rubber hose behind ring is faulty in diameter which does not allow proper fuel flow. No matter what gas station this always occurs. Owner has to use a wrench or other people to assist with fueling. Please describe details.
Fuel leaking from top of fuel pump feed/return pipes. Pipes where corroded and leaking fuel on to the top of the fuel pump where fuel pools until vehicle stops or accelerates at which point the puddled fuel spills to ground, or blows up under vehicle causing a potential fire hazard.
