| Description of the problem | After riding yamaha grizzly 700 for apx. 1 hour in mountains, with 2000 foot elevation changes, went to gas station to fill up. When i removed the screw off fuel cover,l gasoline sprayed out. Tank had been filled prior to the ride, after cleaning my self up 3. 2 gallons were required to fill. Spraying me in the face and straight up. Based on my ride time i would have to guess a gallon sprayed out. Strangers at the gas station washed my eyes out with water as i could not see. Luckily there was not a fire and other than ruining my plastic lens in my glasses all ended well. This could have been very serious for me and the public at the gas station. |
