This pressure can cause fuel to discharge or the fuel cap to eject, posing a risk of serious injury from fire and burn hazards. The firm has received eleven reports of fuel discharging from the unit and the fuel cap ejecting unexpectedly, including one consumer reporting being splashed in the face with fuel.
