What owners wrote
After fueling the truck the fuel nozzle gets stuck in the filler tube. I have to twist and pull very hard to get the fuel nozzle out of the tube spilling fuel on to the ground and myself. Looking on youtube this seems to be a very common issue. I cut my finger while trying to pull out the nozzle,
Fuel nozzle repeatedly gets stuck in fuel filler housing. Unable to dislodge nozzle. Filler assembly broke and filler neck loose. Now unable to fill gas tank
