Cleanfuel recall: Fuel system, other
What is wrong
Cleanfuel is recalling the following chassis and fuel rail hoses and connectors manufactured from november 27, 2007, through august 19, 2011: part no 17090000 (chassis supply hose), part no 17090100 (chassis return hose), and part no. A17090200 (engine kit that includes fuel rail hoses). The subject hoses and connectors were components of certain clean fuel 8.1 liter propane fuel systems and were supplied exclusively to blue bird corporation for installation on vision model type c school buses built with the 8.1 liter propane fuel system. The hose line can separate from the fitting end located on the chassis supply/return hoses and on the injector/return hoses.
What could happen
In the event of a hose line separation, the fuel system is designed to prevent propane leakage using various safety mechanisms to cutoff fuel supply to the engine. The cutoff of fuel may result in engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Cleanfuel is working with blue bird to identify and notify owners that may have had the affected fuel systems installed on their vehicle. Repairs will be performed by cleanfuel free of charge. The safety recall began on september 27, 2011. Owners may contact cleanfuel at 1-877-234-1722 for more information.
