Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I paid to have this problem fixed but i probably shouldn't have had to. when refueling my 1998 kia sephia, there was a small amount of gasoline that would spill on the ground under the fuel tank--whether i completely fill the vehicle or simply put a gallon or two in the tank. i could not put my car in the garage at night because i was afraid that the gas water heater would cause an explosion--the lingering fumes would exist for a day or two after each visit to the gas pump. *la
