Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Briggs & Stratton is recalling model B4363GS fuel tank replacement caps manufactured by Kelch/Bemis for portable generators. The black plastic caps lack ventilation holes that allow pressure to build up inside the fuel tank, creating a fire hazard. The caps are approximately 2.5 inches in diameter and 1.25 inches wide, with two 5.5-inch metal rods extending from the bottom to support a float mechanism that moves a fuel gauge needle. The caps can be identified by the absence of a vent hole in the clear lens covering the fuel gauge and have "KELCH" stamped on the bottom.
According to the recall, consumers should immediately stop using portable generators with these recalled fuel tank replacement caps and return the cap to a Briggs & Stratton dealer for a free replacement.
