Hazard

The clamp at the connection between the rubber fuel hose (supply side) and fuel pipe in the engine compartment has been over-tightened on some vehicles. Continued use in this condition may cause the hose to deform due to engine heat, potentially leading to fuel leakage and in the worst case, fire.
