Posted on: 1990-04-11
Description
The hose material used in the short section of the high pressure fuel line hose, between the fuel rail and fuel pressure regulator, is subject to hardening, and could cause fuel leaks between the hose and the metal pipe fittings.
Consequence
Fuel leaks could ignite on the hot exhaust system, or any other source of ignition, resulting in an engine compartment fire.
Corrective Action
Replace fuel line hose with hoses made of improved material.
Notes
System: fuel line.vehicle description: passenger vehicle. DEFECT #2 - FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
Posted on: 1986-06-23
Description
The protective sleeve covering of the return fuel hose between the pressure regulator and fuel return pipe was shortened leaving part of the hose exposed. In some instances this part of the hose becomes kinked due to the engine compartment heat and/or the routing of the hose. Consequence of defect: if this occurs it could restrict and damage the return fuel hose which could lead to fuel leakage and cause an engine compartment fire.
Consequence
Corrective Action
New hose will be installed with a longer preformed sleeve designed to prevent kinking. The replacement hose will be secured with screw tightened clamps on each end.
Notes
System: fuel/hose.description of vehicle: passenger cars.
