The hazard
On certain snowmobiles, the use of certain fuel blends and/or after-market fuel additives could affect the fuel tank plastic and allow the fuel pump mounting flange to develop a crack, potentially causing a fuel leak. Leaking fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could lead to a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect, and if a fuel tank is found to be cracked, it will be replaced with a fuel tank with the reinforced fuel pump mounting area. If on inspection no crack is found, the fuel pump mounting area reinforcement will be installed. Note: Owners are advised to not to operate their snowmobiles until the defect has been repaired.
