Tank Mounting problems of the 2008 Dodge Nitro

Splash back of gasoline when filling up fuel tank. Incident occurs just about every time tank is filled and the consequences are that a large amount of gasoline shoots back out of the filling nozzle all over the painted surface of the vehicle and on to the surface of the area in which parked. In addition to aggravation, environmental damage, paint damage, there are extremely dangerous consequences that could occur if some sort of an ignition source occurred at the time it happened.

Splash back of gasoline when filling up fuel tank. Incident occurs every time tank is filled and the consequences are that a large amount of gasoline shoots back out of the filling nozzle all over the painted surface of the vehicle and on to the surface of the area in which parked. This is after the pump shuts off or after I relase the lever on the pump when finifhed fueling. In addition to aggravation, environmental damage, paint damage, there are extremely dangerous consequences that could occur if some sort of an ignition source occurred at the time it happened. Controlling the flow/speed of gasoline from the gas pump through the nozzle into the tank filler tube does not lessen the problem.

Every time fuel tank is filled and the gas pump shuts off, a fair amount of gasoline shoots backwards out of the gas tank. The car was purchased in January, and this has happened each time the tank has been filled.
