The defect
The liquid propane (lp) gas supply hose located adjacent to the lp tank can contact the tank plumbing guard causing the hose to wear through allowing lp gas to be released.
The risk
Leakage of lp gas increases the risk of a fire.
The remedy
Dealers will add an elbow to the manifold pipe which will redirect the hose around the guard giving the hose adequate clearance from the edge of the guard.
