The product, in the report: John Deere L111A Lawn Tractor
My John Deere L-111 Riding lawn tractor was parked in my garage and had not been used in over a week. During the overnite period of June 21, to the morning of June 22, 2011 my garage filled with gasoline vapors to the point that it was unbearable to enter the garage. Had the hot water heater in my garage been a gas type instead of electric my house would have been destroyed by the explosion and ensuing fireball, possibly killing me, my wife and our two children. After carefully opening the garage doors manually so as not to create a spark I let the garage air out which took one and a half hours. When it was safe to reenter the garage I traced the gasoline vapors to the John Deere. Upon closer examination I could see that the gasoline was leaking out of the lower right side seam of the fuel tank and creating a large puddle under the machine. As well as filling the garage with a very large volume of vapors.
