FUEL FILLER PROBLEM: THE VEHICLE (1999 NISSAN ALTIMA) WILL ONLY TAKE A SMALL AMOUNT OF FUEL AT A TIME (LENGTH OF FILLER NECK) AND THEN PUMP SHUTS OFF AS THE FUEL OVERFLOWS AND DRAINS INTO TANK. IT IS ALSO IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPLETELY FILL THE TANK; IT ONLY WANTS TO HOLDS APPROXIMATELY 3/4 OF ITS CAPACITY. THIS IS NOT ONLY ANNOYING, BUT A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE FUEL SPILLS ONTO THE VEHICLE AND GROUND SINCE THERE IS NO FUEL FILLER BUTTERFLY VALVE AT THE TOP OF THE NECK.*AK
