## What is wrong

WHEN FRONTALLY IMPACTED INTO A FIXED BARRIER AT 30 MPH,   AS SPECIFIED IN FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD \(FMVSS\) NO. 301, THE LEFT  FRAME RAILS OF SUCH VEHICLES MAY DISPLACE INBOARD, PINCHING THE FUEL/WATER       SEPARATOR CANISTER BETWEEN THE FRAME RAIL AND ENGINE SUFFICIENTLY TO DISPLACE    THE FUEL/WATER SEPARATOR DRAIN ROD, ALLOWING THE CONTENTS OF THE CANISTER TO     DRAIN.                                                                                                                                                            CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: FUEL LEAK DURING OR AFTER A CRASH INCREASES THE           POSSIBILITY OF A FIRE.


## The remedy

INSTALL A CANISTER SHIELD, A REVISED DESIGN DRAIN ROD         SHIELD, AND MODIFY FUEL/WATER SEPARATOR MOUNTING BRACKET.
