What owners wrote
Vehicle will spit back fuel when performing a fill up (at time of filling.). The fuel forcefully shoots out of the refuiling access point. Amount of fuel that spits back is condiderable (the better of a pint;) enough to cover the side of the vehicle, the rear bumper (as well as on myself) and will leave a considerable amount of fuel on the pavement at the gas station. I will point out that I never top off the tank. I simply fill until the fuel nozzle stops - a normal way of fueling.
Every time I fill up at gas station my tank overflows. Is becoming a big concern. Know of others that have the same problem.
