Consumer Description

MY LAST 3 OR SO GAS FILL UPS HAVE RESULTED IN GASOLINE GUSHING OUT OF GAS TANK UPON THE GAS NOZZLE SHUTTING ITSELF OFF. THE FIRST COUPLE OF TIMES I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT BUT THIS LAST TIME I WAS HOLDING THE GAS NOZZLE WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND BEFORE I KNEW IT I WAS SOAKED IN GASOLINE. THIS SEEMS LIKE A HUGE CONCERN ALONG THE LINES OF THE OLD GMC GAS TANKS THAT WOULD EXPLODE UPON AN ACCIDENT. *TR
