01-026/052005-2006 TRIBUTE - SLOW FUEL FILL OR
FREQUENT FILLING STATION PUMP SHUT-OFF
APPLICABLE MODEL(S)/VINS
2005-2006 Tribute
DESCRIPTION
Some 2005-2006 Tributes may exhibit a slow fuel fill or frequent filling station pump shut-offs, when refueling.
A revised fuel tank filler pipe has been introduced to correct this concern. The revised pipe has an improved radius to increase the fuel flow rate.
Customers having this concern should have their vehicle repaired using the following repair procedure.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Verify customer concern.
2. Install a revised fuel tank filler pipe according to Workshop Manual (section 01-14 FUEL TANK FILLER PIPE , Removal and Installation).
NOTE:
This condition may still occur on some vehicles even after the revised fuel tank filler pipe has been installed. Some filling station pumps may deliver fuel at a rate higher than the dot specification, or may use nozzle designs that are overly sensitive and tend to shut off prematurely.
This is normal.
