The hazard

On certain vehicles equipped with gasoline engines and dual fuel tanks, a carbon steel fuel pressure regulator in the fuel system may wear out during the life of the vehicle. This could result in fuel crossflow between the active and inactive fuel tank during operation with the possibility of fuel leakage. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could potentially result in a vehicle fire. Correction: Dealers will install a stainless steel fuel pressure regulator.
