Other Fuel System Hoses Lines/piping, And Fittings Problems of Kia Motor Sorento

I have fuel still spitting out of the fuel tank, even after the supposed tank air filter replacement by bill Dodge kia, saco, me. I can only trickle fuel in the vehicle without it spitting back out on me and the ground. I have already had a bad rash due to fuel spilling on me with shorts on last summer. The vehicle is not repaired as stated. I refuse to start trying to just throw money at it and not knowing if it will fix the problem or not. I seen a lot of other complaints even after the tank air filter replacement, the evap system should not be located under the vehicle to begin with, due to moisture getting into the air filter then the charcoal canister and everything else. I have also replaced the closed valve which is located before the tank air filter to no avail this vehicle is a health and fire hazard period !.

We have a 2003 kia Sorento, and since November while pumping gas, fuel suddenly spews out -- like a soda can that had been shaken. Online we can find other 2003 kia Sorentos also complaining about what's known as fuel spit-back. . The national highway traffic safety administration investigated over 100 complaints of spit-back on 2003 kia Sorentos. Complaints allege that while refueling the vehicle, fuel can spill out or spit back from the fuel filler port on model year (my) 2003 kia Sorento vehicles. Consumers report that the spilled fuel can splash on the person fueling the vehicle, or on the side of the vehicle and the ground. Just like ours. Then in January 2012, kia's testing found that if the canister filter becomes significantly clogged, excess pressure can build up in the fuel tank and cause fuel to spit back from the filler port during refueling. To address the issue of fuel spit back during refueling, kia conducted a service campaign of approximately 86,000 my 2003 and 2004 kia Sorento vehicles. The campaign will provide a one-time replacement of the canister filter, at no cost to the owner -- this was done on our car on March 6, 2012. Before this service, there was no problem with fuel spit-back, now it happens every time we fuel up. The dealer wants to charge us to fix it, the company is of no help your agency closed its investigation, but it seems you must reopen it. Again, we did not have the fuel spit-back problem until after the service!!!!!!!!!!!.

When refueling the tank will suddenly "spray"gasoline forcefully from the neck of the gas tank for several seconds. Took it in on the voluntary recall and had the air filter replaced. Car worked fine for about 2 weeks but is now experiencing the same problem again. Pumped less than $25. 00 in the tank two nights ago and was sprayed with gasoline!.
