Consumer Description

AFTER DRIVING VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL HOURS, EXCESSIVE PRESSURE BUILDS IN THE GASOLINE TANK. PRESSURE IS HIGH ENOUGH THAT GASOLINE IS JETISONED FROM THE TANK. A PERSON UNAWARE OF THIS SITUATION COULD BE SPRAYED WITH GASOLINE. IN ADDITION, WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED IN HOME GARAGE, GASOLINE FUMES ARE EXCESSIVE. SINCE PILOT LIGHTS FOR WATER HEATER AND FURNANCE ARE ALSO LOCATED IN GARAGE, THIS COULD LEAD TO AN EXPLOSION. *LA
