Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20170320-CE843-2147405036. Matched catalog product: Toro Toro Rake and Vac model 51585. Source model text: Toro recycler 22 inch. Incident: 22 inch Toro Recycler, with kohler engine. Large fuel leak at the fuel tank cap. This occurs anytime the mower is tilted, i.e. when mowing up hill or when changing direction. Because this happens while the engine is running, this creates a potentially hazardous situation, especially in dry conditions. This topic is already reported by another consumer on the saferproducts.gov website, however, a simple internet search will show that these are not the only two reports of such cases involving this same mower and engine.
