For compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles, it may happen that oil mixed into the fuel gas at the time of compressing natural gas gets stuck on the inside of the gas valve, which detects and controls the fuel gas flow. If left unfixed, the fuel flow may be incorrectly identified, causing erratic idling, and in the worst case, the engine stalls.
Case Number:
RJ-0599-0
Make/model:
Issued:
Thu, 2000-01-13
Component:
engine
Affected:
141
Correction:
The fuel filter should be replaced with the oil separation filter. Also, explanation for the fuel filter in the vehicle manual should be replaced with one for the oil separation filter, and the label should be placed on the CNG bottle cover to explain how to handle the oil separation filter. In addition, the gas valve should be inspected, and if it is affected by the oil, it should be replaced with a new one.
Identification:
the label on the CNG bottle cover explaining the oil separation filter handling
