| Engine stalled at slow speed immediately after filling up with gas. engine was somewhat difficult to restart because it was flooded. engine stalling happened at least five times before enough gas was burned off to prevent the condition. numerous reports on the internet indicate this is a common problem and happens when raw fuel from the evaporative system is ingested through the throttle body. the evaporative system should only convey fumes but a failure allows it to carry raw fuel to the throttle body. this condition has the potential to be very dangerous. given the number of complaints a safety recall should be instigated to ensure that raw fuel can never reach the throttle body via the evaporative system. *tr | |||
