## What is wrong

THE NYLON FUEL SUPPLY AND RETURN LINES ARE IMPROPERLY     ROUTED ALONG THE FRAME SIDE RAIL AND COULD CONTACT THE UNIVERSAL JOINT ON THE    FRONT DRIVESHAFT.                                                                                                                                                 CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: SUCH CONTACT COULD CAUSE ABRASION OF THE LINES AND LOW    PRESSURE FUEL LEAKAGE CREATING THE POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE.


## The remedy
