| Description of the problem | When refueling a significant quantity (estimated at 8 ounces or more) of gasoline is "spit back" or discharged from the fuel filler opening as the tank reaches full. This discharge produces a puddle of gasoline at least 24" in diameter and leaves the exterior and underside of the fender dripping with gasoline and depending on the filler hose configuration may soak the clothing of the person operating the pump. This event occurs every time the vehicle is refueled unless care is taken to stop adding fuel before the tank reaches full capacity. Clearly this creates a very dangerous, environmentally hazardous and potentially life threatening situation!! |
