I am not able to pump gas without spillage occurring. The tank acts like its full even when empty and I have to continually depress the gas pump. I am able to only pump a few gallons before my hand gets to tired to continue. I have had mechanics look at this but they can't figure out what is wrong.

Unable to put fuel into car. Fuel kicks back and overflows onto the ground. If you refuel slowly you can get about 3 dollars into car in about 15 minutes. Usually end up with more fuel on the ground then in the car. Additionally fuel ends up in the rear wheel well of the car, concerned about gas on rear wheel well in case of a rear end accident.
