The issue
On certain vehicles, some orifices incorporated in the evaporative control system of the fuel tank may not have the correct dimension. This condition can result in increased fuel vapour pressures in the tank due to insufficient ventilation and can cause the fuel tank to split when the vehicle is exposed to long, repeated periods of strong sunlight.
