Known issues on the 1982 B350. The federal record shows 1 recall for this model year. It recalled certain 1982 B350 vans equipped with special luggage partitions, because the screws that attach the partition could pierce the top of the fuel tank, letting fuel leak out when the tank was filled to the brim. Dealers replaced the tank after grinding down the screw tips in that area. Fuel system procedures, specifications and torque values in the manual bear directly on this part of the van.
