The problem
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CLASS B MOTOR HOMES BUILT ON CHEVROLET G-CUT AWAY VAN CHASSIS EQUIPPED WITH AN AFTER-MARKET GASOLINE TANK MANUFACTURED BY TRANSFER FLOW INC. OF CALIFORNIA. THE TANK INCORPORATES A ROLLOVER VALVE AND A 5/8" RUBBER VENT HOSE EXTENDING FROM THE TOP OF THE TANK. IT IS POSSIBLE, WITH THE MOUNTING OF THE FIBERGLASS BODY, THE VENT HOSE CAN BE CHAFFED FROM THE FIBERGLASS BODY UNDERSIDE.
Risk
THIS COULD CAUSE A FUEL VAPOR LEAK WHICH COULD LEAD TO A FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
What owners should do
DEALERS WILL LOWER THE GASOLINE TANK TO INSTALL A SPACER SHIM. THIS SPACER PROVIDES THE NECESSARY CLEARANCE FOR THE VENT HOSE FROM THE VEHICLE UNDERSIDE.
