Narrative

Fuel tank has a cap less tank system that sprays gasoline all over the person pumping it. Most fuel pumps will not let fuel into the tanks causing the person who is fueling the vehicle to be splashed with fuel. The dealership wants $200 just to look at it but a local mechanic says the system is faulty. The emissions are fine and the tank will fill at certain gas stations. There are no warning messages or indications of any kind. You start fueling and bam! You’re covered in gasoline
