When removing the fuel nozzle from the fuel tank, the fuel shoots out of the tank as if from a hose. In my case it went all over my face and clothes due to the position I was in at the time (hence the property damage amount). It appears that there is a great deal of pressure inside the tank. The dealer said they would have to replace the entire fuel tank as well as other parts because "for some reason" the fuel went into other areas of the car, and "we're not sure how." The potential for a major hazard, including possible injuries is tremendous given that we are talking about leaking (rather spewing) fuel being spilled on the ground and (as in my case), on my person. I am grateful no one was smoking and that when I started my engine back up to leave the gas station, that there were no sparks.
