If you feel you have an injury or a burn from this accident, you should see a doctor immediately. Making a report was a good first step. If you feel your clothes and shoes are ruined from the gas spill, you can certainly ask for reimbursement for those items from the station. If you have an injury which requires medical attention, you are also entitled to reimbursement for your medical bills and pain and suffering related to that injury.
