| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: When filling up with gas, it spews from the tank when gas nozzle is removed. it does not matter how much gas is in tank & happens even when tank is not being topped off. also when filling, you must constantly reposition the nozzle because of gas build up in tank line will inadvertently cause pump to turn off. this has happened on numerous occasions, however last night was the final straw, trailblazer had a quarter tank of gas, after pumping in less than a gallon, nozzle/pump started its clicking/auto shut off. i removed the nozzle to reposition it as usual & upon removal of nozzle gas sprayed (like spraying from a hose nozzle)from the tank as if under pressure. i was completely covered with gas from the waist down, i'm not talking about a light spray but soaked through my clothes to the skin with gas. based on the amount of gas left on the ground i estimate that 2 or 3 gallons sprayed from the tank, the only way it was stopped was by putting the cap on. although not seriously injured i am now covered in a rash from the gas from the waist down. *jb |
