## What is wrong

On certain vehicles at extremely cold temperatures, moisture in the fuel tank may freeze and form ice crystals.  These ice crystals may obstruct the suction opening of the fuel pump which can prevent the supply of fuel to the engine and cause the engine to stop.  Correction:  Dealer will install a screen at the suction opening of the fuel pump.
