What's wrong?
The fuel tank on the 2023-2024 Elgin Broom Badger stores diesel for the sweeper's chassis engine. Its filler neck and air vent are supposed to control how much fuel enters the tank during refueling. That venting matters because diesel expands and moves as the truck drives, so the tank needs open space above the fuel.
On affected Broom Badger sweepers, the original fill and vent setup does not stop the tank soon enough. The tank can be filled to more than 95% of its volume, leaving too little space for expansion or movement. When that happens, diesel can escape from the fuel system and leak from the vehicle.
The warning signs are practical ones. You can smell diesel fuel around the sweeper or see fuel under the vehicle after fueling or operation.
Who's affected?
Both model years point to the same modified Isuzu NRR fuel tank system.
