These 27.5, 30, 40 and 45-DGE (Diesel Gallon Equivalent), back of cab and side mounted compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel tanks have a neck adapter that connects the tank boss to the fuel system that may pull out from the tank boss, allowing fuel to leak from the coupling.
What could happen
A CNG fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.

xperion will notify the owners that purchased the affected tanks as part of a Momentum-brand CNG fuel system. xperion will repair the tank connector, free of charge. The recall began on June 3, 2016. Owners may contact xperion customer service at 1-740-788-9560.
