FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
A TUBE IN THE FUEL EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM CAN BECOME OBSTRUCTED, CAUSING EXCESSIVE PRESSURE TO BUILD UP IN THE FUEL TANK. THIS USUALLY OCCURS IN EXTREMELY HIGH TEMPERATURES OR INTENSE SUNLIGHT. EXCESSIVE PRESSURE BUILD-UP CAUSES THE FUEL TANK TO BULGE. A SHORT HAIRLINE CRACK MAY DEVELOP AND FUEL LEAKAGE MAY RESULT.
Remedy: DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, WILL INSTALL A NEWLY DESIGNED TUBE AND VALVE ASSEMBLY IN THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM.
