What owners wrote
Well the first time I got diesel it leaked all over the ground so I took it to the dealer. The dealer informed me it is doing what it was designed to do. It need fuel so I filled it up again and drove were I needed to go I looked and diesel was leaking all over the rear spring, brakes and wheel so I went back to dealer they gave me a fuel cap as the 2013 did not have a fuel cap. This does not fix the problem as when you fill up with fuel it puts 2 to 5 cups of fuel on the ground!
On 01/14/2015 I went to fuel up at gas station the gas gauge was showing empty. I started to put fuel in my truck and it spilled out all over the truck and ground. I tried to put fuel in it again and the same thing happened. The truck took only $1.72 in fuel. I then took it to the dealer ship where I bought the truck. I explained what happened they ran test on it. Repair the check ball in tank was sticking.
