Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: On 3 occasions pumping gas in the last 4 months i have had problems with gasoline spewing out of the tank after i remove the pump nozzle. it was not a simple failure of the pump to turn off. it seemed like air pressure built up much like pumping up an air canister to spray weed killer on a yard. the gasoline covered my arm and sprayed onto the pump. each occasion was at a different station and all of the stations were relatively new. it does not happen at our regular service station. *la
