I've got a couple of problems; my gas tank and military claims office. I can't fill my tank at anything less than 1/4 speed. If I try and pump full speed, the pump shuts off or sometimes spits fuel back out of the tank onto the ground.
I took the Jeep to the dealer and they say the problem is the tank isn't venting correctly. After reading posts here, I have to agree with his assesment. BUT, he says the only way I can fix the problem is to get a new tank at a parts/labor cost of $750 (guess everything really does cost more in Hawaii). Does that sound correct?
Also, I'm 'discussing' this with the Air Force claims office. I say the problem was caused by the shipper when they transported my Jeep to HI and they owe me repair costs. They say I can't prove that and it 'just happened' so I must pay. Facts are Jeep was fine when I dropped it off. I picked it up from the docks, drove it 1 mile and the tank problem's plauged me ever since. Anyone ever seen this problem occur spontaneously in a 3 year old Jeep with only 30K miles? And ideas if it could have been caused during transit to Hawaii?
Thanks in advance.
