Default HELP.. gas tank FCKed up????

hey guys..

i have had my GT for about a month now.. and EVERY time i go to fill up.. the handle clicks saying its reached maximum capacity (in the gas tank) when on my gauge it only says 1/2 tank.. so i shift it around and move to get more out of it.. and gas comes sprayin out of it.. its pissing me off bc im goin to get gas every 100 miles.. literally..

i plan on taking it in.. but if any of you other stangers out there have this prolem.. let me know.. so im not the only one.. or if you know why its doing this..

and also.. i dont think its the gauge.. bc ive had liek 2 full tanks.. so.. i dunno.... I HATE THE FACT THAT GAS IS DRIPPING ON THE SIDE OF MY CAR AND PROBABLY KILLING MY PAINT....

i had to wipe it with a dam window squegee at the gas station.. figures the day after i wash/wax

A lot of people have this problem.



Luckily it only happens to me every once in a while.

no... what I mean by 3 oclock is with the handle pointing towards your right as u face the car... turn it counter clockwise 90 degrees.

Also like to say that it depends on the pump.
There are a few local stations I use where certain pumps work just fine, while the ones right next to them have the problem.
Pisses me off when someone is at my pump.
