I think you missed the point. Read the complaint again. The manager claims this did not occur! Whether I walked away from the pump or not, they insist pump nozzles do not malfunction. I NEVER said I didn't do anything wrong ... I'm angry because they have implied that I lied.

You are the one in the wrong.
You are not supposed to leave the gas pump unattended. I guess you somehow missed all of the signs because you were too busy taking pictures of the kitty litter.
It is even worse in your case because by your own now public admission you knew the pump wasn't normal..and you still left. That in many people's mind could be NEGLIGENCE on your part. Which means you could have been held responsible for any damage or injury that may have happened because of that. In fact in some jurisdictions leaving a Gas Pump unattended is ILLEGAL and you can receive quite a hefty fine.
Now, of course you can report them to any agency you want, and if they are not in compliance they will have to answer to that. But it doesn't take away your part in this. So just hope that when you report to the various agencies that one of them don't come back to you for all or part of the cost for the hazardous materials cleanup.
