## What is wrong

FUEL HOSE MAY BE DAMAGED DUE TO TOO MUCH PRESSURE IN      CRIMPING THE HOSE END FITTING.                                                                                                                                    CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: A FUEL LEAK COULD DEVELOP WHICH COULD CAUSE A LOSS IN     SYSTEM PRESSURE AND ENGINE STALLING. ALSO, FUEL VAPORS IN THE ENGINE             COMPARTMENT COULD BE IGNITED BY A SPARK AND CAUSE A FIRE.


## The remedy

HOSES WILL BE MODIFIED BY CUTTING OFF THE CRIMPED END         FITTING AND REPLACING IT WITH A NIPPLE FITTING SECURED WITH A SCREW TIGHTENED    CLAMP.
