Recall: |

| Report Received Date: |
March 4, 1975 |
| Summary:
|
Ford Campaign No. 154.
Light trucks equipped with 460 cid engine & 4353-4V carburetor.
Possibility that the O-ring on the sealing plug installed in the fuel
inlet cross-channel of the carburetor may experience loss of the sealing
plug. |
|
Consequence: |
Should plug loss occur,
fuel pump operation would cause gasoline to be discharged onto the
engine under pressure. A strong fuel odor would result with potential
for the occurrence of an underhood fire. |
| Remedy:
|
Correct by installing new
plug less O-ring using an epoxy coating over plug and adjacent surface. |
