Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While fueling my vehicle at a gas station, i pumped about $3.00 worth of gas into my 1/8 tank. after it reached $3.00 a loud hissing sound came from the filling neck of my van (not the actual gas station pump) and a large amount of gasoline sprayed me on the stomach and upper legs. there was no sign that this was going to happen. i am still awaiting word on getting repair authorized. it is my understanding that there is a tsb regarding the fuel system on the 2003 chevrolet astro van. *jb
