DEFECT #1 - FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS


Posted on: 1990-02-06
Description
On c and k models, feed and or return fuel lines can contact the automatic transmission shift linkage cordon shaft.  In addition, on k models lines may also contact front propshaft.  In either case the fuel lines could be damaged resulting in a fuel leak.

Consequence
A hole could be rubbed through these fuel lines, allowing fuel leakage near exhaust crossover pipe; this could result in an engine compartment fire that could spread to the passenger compartment.

Corrective Action
Install newly designed fuel line routing bracket to prevent contact and, if necessary, replace fuel lines.

Notes
System: fuel lines.vehicle description: pickup trucks equipped with 6.2 l diesel engines.

Consequence
