Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging Problems of Nissan Altima

On multiple occasions while driving down a highway my vehicle shuts down and will not restart with the fuel gage showing 1/4 tank. It was determined the vehicle ran out of fuel which resulted in fuel line requiring cleaning and replacement of fuel pump. Multiservice eagle tire replaced multiple fuel pumps with no success. The local Nissan dealership and maintenance shop expressed no resolution regarding this problem. Multi service eagle tire removed pump to check for bent float arm and everything looked okay. When testing resistance of fuel level sensor weird reading at bottom end of spectrum and in the middle saw a high resistance reading. Possible sending unit and/or gauge cluster concern. Additionally, when filling tank the fuel gage reflects 440 miles available; this reading is usually 330. After using all available resources, repair shop returned vehicle to customer without repair. I am concerned for the safety of driver and other vehicles if this event happens again. Currently, the vehicle is shared by three teenagers and two adults. I'm concerned an accident is inevitable during heavy traffic periods.

Consistent with NHTSA 10109214,,when attempting to add gasoline to the vehicle, the gas station's gas pump's filling nozzle kicks off immediately and continuously. . In order to add fuel, I must place the nozzle no further inside than the edge of the fuel tank tube and then only slightly squeeze the gas pump's nozzle. Handle so that only a light stream of fuel slowly runs through the gas pump's nozzle. . It takes me 12-15 minutes to fill my tank. This is unsafe because I cannot insert the gas pump's nozzle any further than the edge of the opening to the fuel tank tube and so it is common for gasoline to splash out on my hand, body, clothing, car and other surroundings. Because fueling requires that I maintain my hand on the pump's nozzle handle and the process takes so long, I am subject to gasoline splashes and inhaling gasoline fumes for a prolonged period of time. The splashing of gasoline on the surrounding surfaces at the gas station poses a fire risk at the gas station, its customersi and me. In the event of a fire or spark, I could catch on fire. Due to the splashing on my skin, and clothing. Because the nozzle can only be placed to the edge of the opening to the fuel tank tube, a spark could be attracted to the excessive access to fuel. . As a rule, people waiting in line behind me to fuel up become inpattient and enraged due to the delay. In today's world, if the wrong person is waiting behind me, I almost jokingly add that this vehicle's defect could lead to a mass shooting at the gas station. You may disregard that last comment.

Fuel filler problem: the vehicle (1999 Nissan Altima) will only take a small amount of fuel at a time (length of filler neck) and then pump shuts off as the fuel overflows and drains into tank. It is also impossible to completely fill the tank; it only wants to holds approximately 3/4 of its capacity. This is not only annoying, but a safety concern because fuel spills onto the vehicle and ground since there is no fuel filler butterfly valve at the top of the neck.
