The problem: Due to the angle of fitment of the fuel tank separator, the separator hose may become kinked. This kinking may result in fuel line restriction which may cause the fuel tank to collapse.
The fix: The dealer will replace the fuel connector hose in a way that will prevent separator hose kinking. This will be done at no cost to owner.
