INTERNATIONAL TRUCK & ENGINE CORPORATION
The problem
THE FUEL HOSE TO THE FUEL FILTER IS ROUTED TOO CLOSE TO THE ALTERNATOR BELT CAUSING THE ALTERNATOR BELT TO RUB THE FUEL HOSE. THIS CAN CAUSE A FUEL LEAK.
Risk
FUEL LEAKAGE CAN RESULT IN A VEHICLE FIRE IF AN IGNITION SOURCE IS PRESENT.
What owners should do
DEALERS WILL STRAP THE FUEL HOSE TO THE CHASSIS FRAME TO INSURE A MINIMUM OF 2 1/2" CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE FUEL HOSE AND THE ALTERNATOR BELT.
