- The problem
- Due to overpressurized fuel system and closed emissions control system, there may be excessive hydrocarbon ignition in exhaust stage of engine operation.
- The risk
- This can result in fires from burned through mufflers,degradation of hoses, or liquid or excessive vapor release from emissioncanisters.
- The fix
- Replace fuel tank filler cap with high flow, two-stage retention caps; replace engine compartment heater hoses with high-temp nomex hoses; provide an additional heat shield between coach bodies and muffler; and provide decals for attachment to the fuel system advising users not to completely fill their fuel tanks.
