1 Tank Filler Pipe And Cap problem

Failure Date: 03/11/2011

Every time I fill up my gas tank on my 2008 Dodge Nitro for the last four months, gas overflows from the tank unless I manually stop the pump before the tank is full. A mechanic looked at it and said that it was either a problem with the filter on the gas line or something wrong with the line itself. This is a serious safety issue as gas runs down the side of my vehicle and also is on the ground at the gas station.
