CRACKING AT THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK IS POSSIBLE, DUE TO THE SUCTION PIPE CAP BEING OVERTIGHTENED. LEAKAGE OF FUEL COULD RESULT WHEN THE TANK IS FILLED TO CAPACITY OR IF THE SNOWMOBILE IS TILTED ON ITS SIDE.
Transport Canada recorded this notice in capitals, as its system did for many years. It is reproduced here exactly as published.
