Consumer Description

AFTER ENTERING THE INTERSTATE FUEL BEGAN SPEWING FROM THE UPPER LEFT FAIRING AREA. I PULLED OFF AND SHUT IT DOWN. I COULDN'T TELL WHERE IT ORIGINATED FROM. IT DIDN'T APPEAR ANY LONGER SO I DECIDED TO RETURN HOME, ABOUT 2 MILES. UPON ENTERING THE INTERSTATE AGAIN FUEL SPEWED OUT WITH SUCH FORCE IT COVERED MY ENTIRE LEFT SIDE AND LEG. I PULLED OFF ASAP. A MOTORIST SAW ME AND STOPPED TO HELP. HE WAS AFRAID OF A FIRE, AS I WAS, AND PULLED OUT AN EXTINGUISHER. FUEL WAS EVERYWHERE. HE HELPED ME TOW IT HOME.
