76V069000 · Fuel System, Gasoline:Storage:Tank Assembly:Filler Pipe And Cap
Reported: 1976-05-05 (May 5, 1976)

NHTSA campaign record ↗79V028000 · Fuel System, Gasoline:Storage:Tank Assembly:Filler Pipe And Cap
Reported: 1979-01-18 (January 18, 1979)
UNDER ADVERSE CONDITIONS OF HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURES, PRESSURES AND FUEL VOLATILITY, FUEL MAY SURGE WHEN THE FUEL FILLER CAP IS REMOVED IN A CERTAIN MANNER. UNDER THESE SAME CONDITIONS THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY DEVELOP VAPOR LOCK.
Remedy: THE DEALER WILL INSTALL A BAFFLE IN THE FUEL FILLER NECK TO PREVENT FUEL SURGE AND INSTALL A NEW PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE, WHICH WILL BRING ABOUT A LOWER VENT PRESSURE. THIS WILL BE DONE AT NO COST TO OWNER.
NHTSA campaign record ↗79V048000 · Fuel System, Gasoline:Storage:Tank Assembly
Reported: 1979-02-13 (February 13, 1979)
THE INVOLVED VEHICLES CONTAIN A POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE IN THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WHICH, THROUGH EXCESS PRESSURE OVER EXTENDED PERIODS, COULD CAUSE METAL FATIGUE AND EVENTUALLY FUEL VAPORS TO BE EMITTED INTO THE ATMOSPHERE THROUGH HAIRLINE CRACKS IN THE FUEL TANK.
Remedy: DEALER WILL INSPECT THE TANK AND MAKE REPLACEMENTS, IF NECESSARY. THE VALVE WILL BE REPLACED TO CORRECT THE EMISSION AND SAFETY-RELATED PROBLEMS. CERTAIN VEHICLES WILL REQUIRE INSTALLATION OF A FILLER INLET FUEL TRAP AND A FEEDER PUMP TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF FUEL SURGE AND VAPOR LOCK.
