Recall 94V-154: 1991–1994 Ford L800, 1991–1994 Ford L900 and 1 more
FORD MOTOR COMPANY recall for fuel system, gasoline, reported to NHTSA on Aug 15, 1994, covering about 3,200 vehicles.
The problem
The labels reminding operators closing the fuel tank crossover valves to reopen the valves before operating the engines were omitted. If the tanks are over half full and vehicle operation was resumed without reopening the fuel tank cross-over valves, pressure could build in one of the tanks.
The risk
Pressure build-up could result in rupture of a fuel tank and spilling diesel fuel, which can cause a fire.
The fix
Owners will be mailed a pair of labels and installation instructions. If the owner prefers, a dealer can install the labels.
