## What is wrong

MOVEMENT OF FUEL LINES, RESULTING FROM NORMAL VEHICLE BODY VIBRATIONS. CAUSES THE NYLON FUEL LINES TO WEAR BY RUBBING AGAINST THE METAL FLOOR PAN. THIS COULD RESULT IN FUEL LEAKAGE WHICH, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.

CORRECTION: FUEL LINES WILL BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED AS NECESSARY.  ALSO, A PLASTIC CONVOLUTE COVERING WILL BE INSTALLED AROUND THE FUEL LINES WHICH WILL PREVENT WEAR THROUGH.
