What's wrong

These 27.5, 30, 40 and 45-DGE (Diesel Gallon Equivalent), back of cab and side mounted compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel tanks have a neck adapter that connects the tank boss to the fuel system that may pull out from the tank boss, allowing fuel to leak from the coupling.

Consequence

A CNG fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
