THE ENGINE STALLS AFTER I FILL THE FUEL TANK TO ITS FULL CAPACITY. THIS STALLING USUALLY OCCURS WITHIN A BLOCK OR SO AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION. I THEN HAVE TO SIT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, OR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND WAIT A FEW MINUTES BEFORE THE ENGINE WILL RE-START. LATELY, I HAVE NOT FILLED THE GAS TANK TO ITS FULL CAPACITY. I FEEL THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ROLLOVER VALVE ON THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK AND THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE IS TO HAVE THE FUEL TANK REPLACED. *TR
