Defect
On compressed natural gas vehicles, the sealing plug on the high-pressure fuel regulator is insufficiently torqued. Pressure fluctuations acting on the plug during engine starting may cause it to loosen. Continued use allows the O-ring fitted to the sealing plug to sustain damage, which may result in a fuel leak.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the sealing plug and retorque it to the specified value. Any unit showing fuel leakage or loosening will have its O-ring replaced with a new part.
