Consumer Description

SHORT IN CONNECTION AT THE FUEL TANK. PLASTIC IS MELTED THROUGH, THERE APPEARS TO BE SCORING ON THE INSIDE OF THE UNIT THAT WOULD BE INDICATIVE OF SPARK AND OR HIGH HEAT. CONCERN IS THAT THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE AND OR EXPLOSION. ESPECIALLY IF THIS HAD OCCOURED DURING A TIME FRAME WHEN WARM TEMPERATURES WOULD HAVE MADE FOR HIGH FUEL VAPOR CONTENT (I.E. IT OCCOURED IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER AS OPPOSED TO STRANDING ME IN THE MIDDLE OF A SNOW STORM AS IT DID)
