(1) THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN REFUELING THE FUEL TANK. (2) UPON REFUELING, WHEN THE FUEL LEVEL IN THE FUEL TANK APPROACHES THE FULL LEVEL, A PULSING NOISE IN THE FUEL TANK STARTS AND FUEL STARTS DISCHARGING FROM THE FUEL TANK'S VENT WITH FORCE. THE DISCHARGE CONTINUES AS LONG AS THE PULSING NOISE CONTINUES. SHORTLY AFTER THE PULSING NOISE STOPS, THE FUEL DISCHARGE STOPS. THE DISCHARGED AMOUNT MEASURES FROM 1/2 PINT TO 1&1/2 GALLONS. THE FRIST HAZARD IS ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION FROM THE DISCHARGED FUEL. BUT THE REAL HAZARD IS THE POSSIBLE IGNITION OF UP TO 1&1/2 GALLONS OF FUEL DISCHARGED ON THE GROUND OR PAVING DIRECTLY UNDERNEATH A FULL FUEL TANK ON A 36 FOOT MOTOR HOME. THIS WOULD RESULT IN COMPLETE DISTRUCTION OF THE MOTOR HONE, ANYONE INSIDE THE MOTOR HOME, THE FUELING STATION, ANY MOTORIST AT OR INSIDE THE FUELING STATION AND POSSIBLE ANYONE PASSING THE FUELING STATION. (3) UPON NOTIFYING THE MANUFACTORY OF THIS PROBLEM, THEY SAY THE UNIT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND ITS MY PROBLEM. TO ME, THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT OF THE WORSE KIND, BROUGHT TO THE MANUFACTROY'S ATTENTION BEFORE ANYONE IS INJURIES OR ANY PROPERTY DAMAGED AND THEY ELECT TO DO NOTHING..
