CAN NOT FILL GAS TANK UP TO LIMIT. STOPS AT 6 GALLONS. IF I TRY TO FORCE MORE THAN 6 GALLONS, GAS STARTS SPURTING OUT, SPILLING EVERYWHERE CAUSING A HAZARD. HAVE TO REFILL GAS TANK EVERYDAY. VERY ANNOYING TO HAVE TO STOP & GET GAS ON A DAILY BASIS. VERY INCONVENIENT. MY JOB ENTAILS DRIVING TO DIFFERENT CLIENTS ON A DAILY BASIS.

PLEASE HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR

I WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC, AND AFTER MOVING OFF ABOUT 10 YARDS, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND ALL THE POWER EQUIPMENT STOPPED WORKING. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTARTED WITH NO PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAS RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY MORE THAN 10 TIMES SINCE THEN, USUALLY WHILE STOOPED IN TRAFFIC, OR MOVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT. I HAVE CALLED INFINITI CUSTOMER SERVICE, BUT THEY DENY ALL KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROBLEM OR ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIXING IT. SO FAR, THE PROBLEM EXISTS AT LOW SPEEDS, BUT I AM FEARFUL IT MIGHT HAPPEN WHILE I AM DRIVING IN FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC A FEW TIMES BUT IT IS DIFFICULT TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM SINCE IT IS INTERMITTENT. *TR
