Plain-English summary
Franklin Fueling Systems Inc. is recalling approximately 9,000 gas station hose and swivel fitting sets used to dispense or transfer refined fuels such as gasoline, diesel, and ethanol blends.

The specific units affected have date codes stamped on the swivel fitting nut ranging from M1615 to M3515 for ¾-inch hoses and M2215 to M4115 for 1-inch hoses.
