THE VEHICLE WENT INTO "LIMP HOME MODE" ( NO POWER BOOST FROM TURBO) AFTER 5 HOURS OF DRIVING AT 75-85 DEGREES F. THIS WENT ON FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES AT WHICH POINT THE POWER SLOWLY CAME BACK TO NORMAL WITH OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE AT 56 DEGREES F.

UPON REMOVAL OF THE TANK, THERE WAS A FRACTURE IN A FITTING ON TOP OF THE TANK FOR THE VENT. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT NO FUEL TANK SUPPORTING A GENERATOR CONNECTION EXISTS. *JB
