Mar 3, 1999
Summary
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: TRANSIT BUSES. DUE TO THE ROUTING OF THE HIGH PRESSURE HYDRAULIC HOSE CONNECTING THE DISTRIBUTION MANIFOLD TO THE COOLING FAN, HYDRAULIC MOTOR OR THE HIGHER OPERATIONAL SPEED OF CNG ENGINES COULD, IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, PUSH THE PRESSURE DEVELOPED BY THE HYDRAULIC PUMP BEYOND THE NOMINAL WORKING PRESSURE OF THE INSTALLED HOSE. THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF STRESSING THE HOSE BEYOND ITS MINIMUM BEND RADIUS AND/OR BEYOND ITS NOMINAL WORKING TEMPERATURE/PRESSURE RATINGS.
Risk
A HOSE FAILURE COULD OCCUR ALLOWING HYDRAULIC FLUID STEAM TO IMPINGE ONTO HOT EXHAUST COMPONENTS AND INITIATE AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE.
Remedy
