Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I drove my 1995 subaru impreza to the gas station (just a few miles up the road); turned the car completely off. i pulled the release to open the gas door. after i began to unscrew the gas cap (i did not get the cap completely off) a ball of fire came out of the gas tank around the gas cap. the fire ball lasted for 5 to 10 seconds then died out on its own. i had the car towed to the dealership. they were unable to find anything wrong.
