Vehicle Fuel Tank Leak Prompts Hazmat Response at Resort Parking Structure

Approximately 10 gallons of gasoline leaked from a hole in the fuel tank of a vehicle at the Grand Wailea parking structure on Tuesday morning, resulting in Hazmat response from the Maui Fire Department.

The incident was reported at around 10:13 a.m. on Nov. 30.

According to department reports, gasoline had leaked from a hole in the tank of an SUV, and was pooling around the vehicle, causing a potential fire and explosion hazard.
