Ram 1500 8-cyl

  • 40,000 miles
Purchased new, in Nov 2010. When filling up the nozzle clicks and sprays fuel back on you and down the side of the truck appx loss of.5 gallons per fill up. Even if it misses you your hand will be covered in gas and causes cracks in your fingers now that its winter. I cannot image it is good for the paint either.
