Description of the problem	While filling the gas tank, my husband was covered in gasoline. I purchased the vehicle 2 weeks ago and it happened to myself, but i thought it was the gas pump that i was at. My legs were covered in gas and i had a cut on my leg and the gas was in my cut and burned terribly. My husband is a volunteer fireman and i am an emt. We will be using this vehicle to respond to real life emergencies. I am very concerned that it may cause injury to myself and others. This is most likely caused by a valve in the gas tank that is there to prevent an explosion in the event of a rollover accident. The valve is defective, and thus the gas spills out, and my car could possibly explode in a rollover accident or if on an emergency scene it could be hit and cause and explosion..
