The hazard
On certain ATVs, the fuel tank may build excessive pressure due to a blocked vent. This could cause fuel to spray on occupants or bystanders when opening the fuel cap, potentially causing injury. Additionally, if an ignition source was present, this could create a risk of fire, causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will modify and re-route the fuel tank vent hose.
