Fuel System

Mar 10, 2003 · NHTSA campaign 03V065000 · 135 vehicles

Problem: On certain class c MINI-motor homes built on 2003 Chevrolet chassis, the chassis fuel return line, which is tapped to supply fuel to the generator, has been found to have pressures that exceed the maximum allowed by the generator manufacturer.

Original NHTSA wording

ON CERTAIN CLASS C MINI-MOTOR HOMES BUILT ON 2003 CHEVROLET CHASSIS, THE CHASSIS FUEL RETURN LINE, WHICH IS TAPPED TO SUPPLY FUEL TO THE GENERATOR, HAS BEEN FOUND TO HAVE PRESSURES THAT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED BY THE GENERATOR MANUFACTURER.

Risk: As a result, if the generator is operated at the same time the chassis engine is running, excess fuel could be delivered to the generator, creating a potential for a generator stall and possible fuel spill. In the event of a fuel spill, a fire could occur.
