Hazard
On large and medium-sized transit buses, the protective material at the edge of the interior fuel tank cover has inappropriate material composition and structure. When passengers board or alight and luggage makes contact with the protective material, the outer surface may wear away, exposing the internal metal core. Continued use in this condition may result in passenger injury from contact with the exposed metal core edge.
