What Happened
The fuel filler hose is the part that connects your gas tank to the fuel cap. In some vehicles, this hose can crack and leak fuel when you're refueling.
Risk if Unfixed
If the hose cracks, fuel could spill out and ignite, causing a fire. This is a serious safety risk, especially when you're refueling near an open flame or spark.
