Details
What's wrong: If conditions of high ambient temperature, overfilling of the fuel tank, and insufficient torque on the sending unit lock ring exist simultaneously, fuel seepage may occur from the top of the tank.
Why it matters: Fuel seepage could result in fire in the presence of anignition source.
The fix: Retorque sending unit lock ring; replace lock ring gasket if fuel seepage is detected.
