## What is wrong

FATIGUE CRACKS MAY DEVELOP IN THE SOLDER JOINT BETWEEN THE FUEL RETURN  TUBE AND THE FUEL PUMP SENDING UNIT LOCATED ON THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK.  THIS WOULD ALLOW FUEL VAPOURS TO ESCAPE FROM THE TANK AND WHEN THE TANK  IS 7/8 OR MORE FULL, A SMALL AMOUNT OF LIQUID FUEL MAY LEAK FROM THE  CRACK PRESENTING A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.  NOTE: FOR ESCORT MODELS ONLY GT AND LXE LINES INVOLVED.  CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND FUEL PUMP SENDING UNIT  ASSEMBLY WILL BE REPLACED WITH ONE OF IMPROVED STRENGTH.
