The contact owns a 2016 KTM 1190 Adventure R. While riding the motorcycle, the fuel tank became excessively hot. While attempting to cool down the motorcycle and release the built-up pressure in the fuel tank, the contact rode the motorcycle for approximately 10 miles and then pulled into a gas station to refuel. Due to the extreme heat and a suspected malfunctioning or blocked venting system, the fuel tank expanded drastically to hold an extra 2 gallons of fuel. Upon opening the fuel cap, the highly pressurized tank violently released the built-up pressure, causing gasoline to shoot out of the fuel tank approximately 6 feet into the air. The contact was drenched in gasoline. After the press
