FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP
THE FUEL FILLER TUBE HAS A FLAP IN IT WHERE THE TUBE CONNECTS TO THE TANK TO PREVENT SPILLAGE IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION OR UPSET. THE FLAP HAS STUCK IN A PARTIALLY OPEN POSITION CAUSING THE FUEL NOT TO FLOW FREELY INTO THE TANK. IN THIS OPEN POSITION, THE FLAP DOES NOT DO IT JOB OF KEEPING FUEL IN TANK. THEREFORE IN THE EVENT OF AN OVERTURNED VEHICLE THE FUEL WOULD LEAK OUT CREATING A FIRE HAZARD
