When fueling the Ford F 150, it will not shut off almost all fuel handles and as a result gasoline spews out a couple feet past the fuel pump handle as well as spilling fuel all over the side of the truck. This poses a fire hazard as well as slipping and carcinogen issue. Also, the paint and tires are subjected to deterioration and the vehicle smells of fuel for some time afterwards. I can never completely fill the vehicle without putting my ear up to the truck fill tube. No matter how far back I jump, I always get fuel on my feet, shoes and clothing. I haven't had fuel get in my eyes yet, but it is just a matter of time. Maybe a fuel station has already blown up. I'm sure that won't bee long if it has not already happened.
