Ford campaign no 154. Light trucks eqtipped with 460 cid engine & 4353-4vcarburetor. Possibility that the "o" ring on the sealing plug installed in thefuel inlet cross-channel of the carburetor may experience loss of the sealingplug. Should plug loss occur, fuel pump operation would cause gasoline to bedischarged onto the engine under pressure. A strong fuel odor would resultwith potential for the occurence of an underhood fire. (correct by installingnew plug less "o" ring using an epoxy coating over plug and adjacent surface).
