Default When are they going to do a recall for the gas tanks?

I was in the station for the first time filling my baby up($34bucks!!wtf) and while I was doing it the damn thing kept shutting off on me. over and over like the tank was full.. mean while a POS beat up honda with 5 inch tip filled up and was reving his crap at me.. and I was still pumping gas!!.. He beat me at the pump.. and waited for me..for a little.. I guess he wanted to see what my tail lights looked like at night. anyway, he left and.. I felt empty inside..... help [sm=boosign.gif]

There is TSB available,
I got a copy of it from this Board, from a member called "casper"
My replacement tank is on order for my GT.

thanks.. I thought I saw something like that.. but I could not find it. If there is a TBS then all I have to do it call them and tell them or order one for me to?

I heard about a gas tank issue. I found it in a small out fo the way town near the Hearst Castle.

For me, I hold the the nozzle at about 4:30/5:00 position and fill ups happen OK.

What happens with the new gas tank?

based on the TSB, there is a revised venting system in the tank.
The old tank, to much vapor builds up. Thus causing the pump to shut of early.

TSB's are handy, gives you ammo when assualting the dealership service department.

This forum is great for sharing information on our Automobiles.
