What's wrong

THE INTERMEDIATE FUEL SUPPLY AND RETURN LINES WERE SPLICED USING RUBBER HOSE AND WORM-DRIVE CLAMPS. THE RUBBER HOSE RUPTURES DUE TO THE PRESSURE GENERATED BY THE FUEL PUMP, RESULTING IN A FUEL LEAK.

The risk

THE RUPTURED HOSE SPRAYS FUEL ONTO THE HOT EXHAUST SYSTEM AND RESULTS IN AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE.

The fix

RUBBER HOSE AND CLAMP WILL BE REPLACED WITH THE STEEL BRAIDED FUEL LINES AND FITTINGS.
