The defect
The secondary seat can separate from the secondary lever of the model eb or model lb converters. This IS caused by a material or a manufacturing defect of the rubber seat.
The risk
The converter contains a secondary lever, with a seatwhich regulates the flow of lpg gas to the mixer. The seat separates from thelever, which allows full tank pressure to be applied to the mixer. This causesthe gas hose to blow off the mixer. If this occurs, fuel would flow into the engine compartment where it could be ignited by a hot engine or other source ofignition.
The remedy
Replace the secondary lever in model eb and lb converters.
