What owners wrote
The ignition switch was left in the "on" position while vehicle was not running for approximately seven hours, apparently the fuel pump was not told by pressure regulator or computer to turn off. Fuel pump pumped approximately fifteen gallons of fuel into motor, by not knowing this at the time of trying to start vehicle a fire started in the engine compartment, within minutes the entire vehicle was engulfed in flames, vehicle was totally destroyed, luckily no one was hurt or killed. Fire dept.
Fuel spills from rear tank when fueling front tank. Engine sputters and quits while running due to fuel pressure failure..
