What is wrong
THE ENGINE FUEL LINES MAY BE DAMAGED IF THE FUEL LINE BRACKET NEAR THE BATTERY IS USED AS A GROUND WHILE JUMP STARTING THE VEHICLE. SINCE THE BRACKET IS NOT GROUNDED, THE STAINLESS STEEL FUEL LINE BRAID WILL ACT AS A GROUND. THIS COULD OVERHEAT THE PTFE INNER LINER OF THE FUEL LINE AND RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE FUEL LINE. THIS COULD CAUSE FUEL LEAKAGE AND IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, A FIRE COULD OCCUR.
CORRECTION: A LABEL WILL INSTALLED ADVISING OWNERS NOT TO USE THE FUEL LINE BRACKET AS A JUMP START GROUND. A REVISED BOLT WILL BE INSTALLED IN THE ALTERNATOR BRACKET TO PROVIDE A CONVENIENT JUMP START GROUND.
