Outerwears Inc. Recalls Filters Used in Fuel Funnels Due to Fire Hazard
The Funnel Pre-Filters can create a flash when they are removed from the fuel
tank posing a fire hazard. Outerwears received three reports of flashing when the funnel is removed from the fuel

vehicles. The recall involves Outerwears Funnel Pre-Filters, or fuel funnel pre-filters, with the model numbers 20-
